This doesn't seem as clear cut as the headline suggests. Didn't he admit he consented to the search, and didn't the person at the door let them in?

Nonsense.

The reporter from New Orleans who wrote this is a deep, deep idiot when it comes to the law.

The decision does not give the police the right to "search homes without warrants." That's completely wrong and totally misses the point of the 5th Circuit's very reasonable decision, which was a majority decision of 11 judges to 4. The SCOTUS has been taking a hardline approach to criminal procedure cases such as this lately, and they may even trim the ears off of this one.

Don't worry. This is nothing to worry about it. I say that as a civil rights near-absolutist. Just don't trust reporters from New Orleans.

The big problems are outsourcing and terrorism.

US Constitution
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Are we gonna start hearing the old"Citizen, If you've done nothing wrong, What are you Hiding routine?

Freedom is rapidly being flushed down the toilet!

The moral of this story: if they police don't have a warrant, and you invite them into your house...surprise...you've waived your Fourth Amendment rights. Like duh! What else is new?

...a Gould employee who told officers that Gould intended to kill two judges and unidentified police officers...

A search of Gould's criminal history revealed several arrests and that he was "a convicted felon for violent charges,"...

When officers went to question Gould, they were told he was asleep. The officers asked if they could look inside for Gould, and were allowed to enter.

Gould's bedroom door was ajar, and officers testified they peered inside and saw no one. Thinking Gould could be hiding, the officers looked in three closets.

The Constitution protects us from unreasonable search. It does not protect us from reasonable search, which is clearly what this was.

. . . but others argue it's a privilege that could be abused . . .

NO!! Not could be abused, WILL be abused.

Wake up America is right!!! The liberal loading of the judiciary is coming to play all over this country - and we are the ultimate losers.
