Ken, doesn't the 4th protect against search/seizure without a warrant or probable cause?  I definitely think you have a 1st Amendment case to "petition the Government for redress of grievances".  The McCain-Edwards-Kennedy "Patients Bill of Rights" ( S.B. 1052) from 2001 would have offered a better appeals process, but it didn't get past the House.
 
I'm cringing as I write this, but have you thought about approaching the ACLU?

yeah, kendall, i do not expect to get out of the fight
even though it will not help me. i'd alreasdy been
working the georgia senators and reps. the 4th
amendment is useless for people with CP and similar
disabilities without access to the courts.
