This week the Supreme Court ruled that any person who's arrested for ANY offense can be strip-searched.  Jay walking...speeding...protesting under the OWS banner...that's a strip-search and there's nothing you can do about it.

Naomi Wolf explains how sexual humiliation has been used to control the masses in the past:

"The political use of forced nudity by anti-democratic regimes is long established. Forcing people to undress is the first step in breaking down their sense of individuality and dignity and reinforcing their powerlessness. Enslaved women were sold naked on the blocks in the American south, and adolescent male slaves served young white ladies at table in the south, while they themselves were naked: their invisible humiliation was a trope for their emasculation. Jewish prisoners herded into concentration camps were stripped of clothing and photographed naked, as iconic images of that Holocaust reiterated."

And you didn't hear this reported in any US media outlet over the weekend, did you? I'm so sick of our fascination with celebrity and bs network television singing contests.

Our Constitutional rights are being eroded one by one.
