When the Supreme Court lost its most conservative member earlier this year, many thought that the remaining term could be a disaster for personal liberty cases. It turns out they were right. In the most recent decision, however, it’s not the court’s liberal wing who’s to blame. This time, the court’s traditionally conservative members dealt a confusing blow to the constitution’s Fourth Amendment.
Justices Thomas, Alito, Breyer, Kennedy, and Roberts joined forces in a decision that would grant the government additional search and seizure authority without probable cause. The decision likely intends to empower the police to stop and punish crime, but without prior knowledge of a crime being committed, all it does is allow a private citizen to be subject to imprisonment at the whim of U.S. authorities.
See what power this decision gives the U.S. government on the next page:
Read. What angers me the most is that the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution was written to provide protection to U.S. citizens. The Supreme Court is put in place to uphold the law and not re-write it. The one dissenter, Sonya Sotomayor, only wants to uphold the true intent of this Amendment for the sake of illegal Aliens. This ruling is a mistake on the part of the Supreme Court and could be detrimental to a free society. I encourage anyone motivated to understand the importance of the Fourth Amendment to read the history of Entick V Carrington a case argued in 1765 England which gave James Madison cause for adding the Fourth Amendment in our Bill of Rights.
This will be appealed. And will not stand
While we are all looking at each other , DC is taking more of our rights away. Stop the side shows and personal agendas , The Constitution is being thrown out the window for everybody !
So you liberals dont get pissed this was your government you follow that did this!
Hey, you conservatives are the ones who wanted this for the longest time
But wasn’t passed by Democrats. It is the Republican Congress
They’ve been doing this$#%&!@*in Philadelphia since I was born they pull you over for any reason don’t even ask and search your vehicle from the eighties all the why until now still going on best bet is to call them out end demand to see there District Commander Sergeant or lieutenant because most of the time they know the law and will help you
They can not change law, there is prior actions to hold illegal search and seizure as an illegal action.
