I believe we are going to need a second Bill of Rights to overrule all the Supreme Court cases that have dampened the 4th and 5th amendments plus put in some explicit privacy protections. I had some hope of them going the other way given the 2nd amendment cases and Citizens United, but it looks like thats not a trend.
This administration is worse than the last and that one wasn't any friend of civil rights either. The thought process that a GPS can be attached to someones car or data kept in the cloud can be searched without warrants is going to be a killer for civil rights.
Layering on an a second layer of rules to the already existing rules doesn't work so well for computer systems. I doubt it will work as expected in real life.
At least my experience is the more rules you have, and the more rules clarifying the rules, the more wiggle room you leave people to exploit loopholes.
What we need aren't more rules but actual enforcement of the existing rules. 'Congress shall make no' and 'The government may not do anything not enumerated herein' are pretty clear.
Well, layering (really replacing or adding) is really the only option with regards to the Constitution. It needs to show a modern intent to some of the amendments that have suffered in the modern era.
