First sentence:

“Today the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Navarette v California, a case in which a wrong decision will effectively repeal the 4th Amendment rights of the American people.”

The title abbreviated the thought but it is still for all intents and purposes a repeal or perhaps more precisely a judicial nullification.

As noted upthread, we should be careful with hyperbole in headlines. We object when alarmist headlines appear in NYT/LAT,etc. We should hold the same standard for conservative news sources, even if it’s only a blog.

Yes, the first sentence is correct. The title is correct too, as it is directly copied from the article.
That being said, the original off-site title is misleading, as the correct wording should include "effectively'. The hyperbole complaint should be directed at the article's author, not the FR thread poster. However, I likely would have included a "[effectively]" in the title to better portray it.
