Coming Soon to SCOTUS: Cops No Longer Need a Warrant to Enter Homes and Seize Evidence | |

| Mr. Cynic (OP) User ID: 67244533 United States02/17/2016 01:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We need to pay attention to key state decisions that will be coming up before SCOTUS soon. I'm pretty confident Obama will nominate someone very soon, and the glorious "opposition" will simultaneously approve the nominee while whining and complaining that it's unfair. Above all things avoid cowardice for it makes men liars. ~ C.H. Spurgeon |
| D.C. Cormorant User ID: 33548320 United States02/17/2016 01:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks. Interesting. IF Obama's nominee gets in, then we really have tyranny. The only obstacle in the way of utter tyranny has been the Supreme Court. If the Court is lost, then we truly enter into a formal tyrannical form of government. All the pieces are in place in the other branches, and ready to go. I've not seen anything like this in my 50 years. I am worried. D.C. Cormorant |

I think if someone is trying to enter your home illegally without a warrant with the sole purpose of wanting to take your stuff, I think said person would be considered an home invader and a safety threat to you and your family, right? Hell, that's only common sense. |
| Mr. Cynic (OP) User ID: 67244533 United States02/17/2016 01:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ' The decision Wednesday was also notable in that Justice Rebecca Bradley joined the majority that reversed the Court of Appeals, even though she had not heard arguments in the case, which occurred before her appointment Oct. 9 by Gov. Scott Walker. ' Another classic sell-out by a RINO who appointed a clueless imbecile. I think discovering why Walker appointed her would be worthwhile for any investigative journalist. Is it even in doubt anymore that the GOP is just the flip side of the coin from the Democrats? Edit: Sorry. I forgot the link to the above quote. If you look at it, you may understand why I think someone should investigate Walker's decision to appoint Bradley.

I think (like you) that the Court has been fairly balanced to this point. Yes, a few things that are worrisome have gotten through. There are also some worrisome things that have been blocked thanks to the balance. Now, we are in real trouble and I do not think the majority of Americans are aware of how dire the situation is. I am not one to exaggerate, nor get really worked up and panic. BUT.....THIS IS A BIG DEAL. Seems that you are right about keeping an eye on what is before the Court. Now that our news stations ONLY COVER the Presidential election 24/7, with virtually NO OTHER news, there is much that can happen in the shadows. D.C. Cormorant |

Hell, that's only common sense. Well the idiot let them into his home so he sort of lacks commons sense. But once inside, they busted down a locked door that he refused to open for them. They cited the " 'community caretaker' claus" as their right to violate the 4th amendment. Is "community caretaker clause" even a fucking thing? So in order to void the Constitution, they just have to wave their "community caretaker clause" card. Above all things avoid cowardice for it makes men liars. ~ C.H. Spurgeon |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70958871  That's true. We might be faced with a favorable tie if it had been Ginsberg who had passed away, but favorable ties are probably not going to happen much on the current 8 member court.

Conservatives are the proponents of such police tactics not a more liberal court which tends to lean more toward Individual rights instead of blanket warrants. A left leaning court is more likely to restrict police |
