Ironic…

Posted on June 8, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Justice Ginsburg was the only once against the recent trashing of the 4th Amendment. Who would have thought…and, conversely, why is Thomas suddenly siding with the oppressors?

    Hey Oleg, do you have a link to this decision and what it entailed? I can’t seem to find anything about what you’re referencing.

    Just about everybody in power loves the police. Doesn’t matter that they act like thugs so long as they’re “their” thugs. Conservative. Liberal. Doesn’t matter a whole lot in that end. Both sides forget the first rule of government: anything the government can do for you, it can do to you.

    I certainly had higher hopes for Thomas.

    The depressing part is the small number of people who actually seem to care. I can get barely more than a shoulder shrug on this from most people with whom I have discussed it.

    Time to make the “First they came for the…” speech again….and again…and again…
    As one who is equally surprised

    Because Thomas is the least intelligent person to sit on the high court. Ever. He just does what he is told to do.

    Wow, to quote a small portion of the dissenting opinion:

    “In lieu of presenting their evidence to a neutral magistrate, police officers may now knock, listen, then break the door down, nevermind that they had ample time to obtain a warrant.”

    Now that is scary. What is happening in America?
