Yes. If this doesn't wake people up, nothing ever will.
For the Sheriff to come out the very next day and expand their right to search ‘unlawfully’ to ‘random’ searches...there is something very evil afoot here that will not be confined to one state. We are going to be very lucky if we still have the right to vote by 2012.
Even the dissenting justices admitted that the officer probably was entering the home legally (he was responding to a 911 call from the home for domestic violence).
The majority mentioned the fact that most states have eliminated the common law right to resist an illegal entry. AFAIK, those state statutes have not been tested by the US Supreme Court. Anyway, read the decision. There's no way a sheriff would use it as a basis to conduct random entries.
By the logic being used, if a court case ruled that a cop was wrong in just shooting someone for speeding, we'd have a chorus of FReepers claiming the case said that people had the right to speed.
I have as many questions about the ISC case as anyone, but that doesn't mean we should be making things up or acting like idiots.
The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States unless and until the state legislature chooses a statewide election as the means to implement its power to appoint members of the Electoral College.
