Scariest thing: I agreed with Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Dick Cheney in the same WEEK. Joel Send a noteboard - 10/08/2013 10:44:50 AM

Interesting split decision with Scalia siding with the super-libs.

That is, Scalias rebuttal of the "but we can catch more criminals!" argument with "yes, you would probably catch more criminals with all kinds of illegal searches," Thomas' declaration pharmacorps cannot claim ownership of genes millions of years old and Cheneys dismissal of the notion Edward Snowden is some kind of "patriot" (maybe in Bizarro World.)

Because it's a search which should be protected under the 4th Amendment. Ghavrel - 04/06/2013 03:38:18 PM 711 Views

Excepting fingerprints, those things are in plain sight, so not protected by the Fourth Amendment. Joel - 10/08/2013 10:36:08 AM 601 Views

It isn't the immediate harm, but the potential for abuse. HyogaRott - 06/06/2013 06:17:58 PM 698 Views
The harm is to presumption of innocence, by conviction through illegally obtained evidence. Joel - 10/08/2013 11:07:59 AM 752 Views

I don't have any issue with the decision; however, the possibility of abuse should be watched. HyogaRott - 04/06/2013 03:11:02 PM 665 Views
