Yeah, it's like we've given up. Between third-party doctrine, border enforcement being excluded from 4th amendment protections, and 100-mile zones around international airports being considered "the border", it's like there's no place left where the constitution applies. How did we forget why we made these rules in the first place? It's not like the risks are smaller today than they were 250 years ago...

Corporations are reading the room and pulling out any hostile tactic they've kept in their back pocket waiting for an occasion like this.
This is only the beginning with digital IDs. It's absolutely going to get worse and all of human history is available as evidence to what occurs with unchecked power.
USA was a democratic country just less than a year ago. Are there constitutional ways to remove a bad actor or a traitor from the power?
It looks like pattern there is that a some powerful guy or company just removes rights and freedoms we had by small pieces. Those small pieces are not worth to fight for, until frog is boiled alive.
Cutting through the excuses, this is just another step in converting the US from a democracy to a fascist dictatorship.
