The Third Amendment

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Since the Civil War, the number of military operations taking place on U.S. soil has been declining.  As such, the Third Amendment is more commonly viewed as a means of protecting the privacy of citizens.  However, this was not the case prior to the American Revolution when the British frequently housed it’s soldiers within colonial homes by means of the Quartering Act.

Yet, the Third Amendment doesn’t expressly prohibit soldiers from being quartered in your home during a time of ware (i.e. Now).  As long as it’s within legal procedure (whatever that means), then they can quartered in your home.

On another topic, I previously mentioned a little bit about a court case and how it affected surfing the internet at work.  As it turns out, it hasn’t really affected anything at all. You can still be canned for surfing the internet while at work.  Although, in this court case the judge had recommended that the employee only receive a reprimand since using the internet is equivalent to using a telephone or reading a newspaper at work.

For surfing at work, he got turfed.
