i just want to register that i completely agree with the decision vitiating stop and frisk in nyc. the profiling aspect of it is luridly disgusting, but even if that was not at its center, it is clearly unconstitutional and profoundly oppressive. of course, the nsa is frisking everyone all day. it's good if they're not particularly targeting black people, though it wouldn't be surprising if they rummaged a little harder about the persons of muslims, opponents of current american regime, and so on. i am delighting in whatever i can find of backlash against these sorts of oppressions, though honestly my hopes for the future of human freedom are extremely muted.
