Skip Oliva explains how the FTC is using regulatory law to circumvent the Fourth Amendment on the issue of advertising and marketing food to children.

Tim Lynch has written a bit on this, too. Even putting Oliva’s Fourth Amendment concerns aside (and that’s a huge concession), the cost of complying with these sorts of document requests can be enormous. And the government can make them at will, even when, as is the case with the SpongeBob wars, there’s no crime, only the meddling interests of busybody politicians.
