The last time I read the Constitution, the specific number 100 is not identified in any way. The numerical descriptor "hundred" is, in fact, listed three times when written out as a part of a year:
- Article 1, Section 9
- Article 5
- Article 7
However, to be honest, I just posted a fracking link; I did not ARGUE one way or the other on the position of the ACLU, merely provided a reference point for the poster immediately prior to my post.
Take the information and do what you want with it. Obviously, our esteemed elected asshats on the Capitol Toilet decided to wipe their collective backsides with the Constitution when they passed the enabling legislation for the 100 mile limit. The only legislation that I have been able to find says that DHS may inspect within a "reasonable" distance from the border. DHS, by their own statements, feels that 100 miles is reasonable, today. Who is to say what those ........s are going to say tomorrow, next month or next year.
