In 2019, the California Court of Appeal, 1st Appellate District, ruled that a police offer may always enter a suspect's home without a warrant if the officer is in pursuit of the suspect and has probable cause to believe that the suspect has committed a misdemeanor. This week, the U.S. Supreme Court considered whether that ruling should be overturned.
Justice Neil Gorsuch seemed to have a problem with the lower court's decision. Under the common law, Gorsuch pointed out during oral arguments in Lange v. California, the police did not "have the power to enter the home in pursuit of any and all misdemeanor crimes." The framers of the Fourth Amendment built on that common law understanding. So "why would we create a rule that is less protective than what everyone understands to be the case of the Fourth Amendment as original matter?"
Gorsuch also seemed to have a problem with California's argument that an officer in pursuit of a suspected felon should always be able to follow that suspect into the home without a warrant. It is "settled," argued California Deputy Solicitor General Samuel Harbourt, "that officers may enter a home without a warrant if they have probable cause to believe a fleeing suspect has committed a felony."

Out of control government is out of control.
Including our elections, Justice Gorsuch.
“California”
Eff off useless.
Except Vote Fraud and Election Fraud, and don’t forget TREASON or Seditious COnspiracies to Overthrow the Presidency,...
Eunuchism, enabled by the Prime Eunuch, Traitor Roberts.
Yup, he’s just a coward in a black robe.
Says the guy with no medical experience who created law that skin color is the same as being a transvestite.
The 4th Amendment works both ways. Show up without a warrant and you just might be surprised at what finds you.
Now they want to be relevant? After they passed on whether voters have a right to expect states to follow the rules?
Why should we even listen to these frauds?
A message for Gorsuck and the rest of the black robbed traitors: One day in the future the left will not be in control of the government and the new right will have fresh memories of your failure to do your job. It is then you shall reap the whirlwind you have sowed.
“a police offer may always enter a suspect’s home”
What kind of OFFER are they making?

This is a core, compelling Originalist 'argument'.
Yes Gorsuch. Like Christian views of sexuality.
“’Everything Has Been Criminalized,’ Says Neil Gorsuch...”
Apparently not ELECTION FRAUD, Neil.
Spot on.
Says the guy with no medical experience who created law that skin color is the same as being a transvestite.
Here’s a nauseating hagiography of Gorsuch from NBC news after he a gave trannies projectiosn under the civil rights act of 1964. No doubt he and his wife loved it. Probably have it framed on their wall.
Far, far too any things are deemed to be felonies, with the attendant loss of liberties. This needs to get reeled back in.
Bend over, Americans.
