Watch OUT the for the SpinMasters !!
JUDGE ALITO FAILS TO GIVE ASSURANCE THAT THE GREAT SUPER DUPER POOPER SCOOPER HAS DECLARED ROE v WADE IRREVERSABLE !!!
Long ago in another life, I attended a ZZ Topp Concert with somone who hid her MJ & pills in her son's diaper. "All persons present" damn well SHOULD mean ALL PERSONS PRESENT.
The whole point was to go after a drug dealer. Alito specifically said that the affidavit presented by the Marshalls asked for the right to body search because they were searching a drug dealer who had a history of hiding drugs on others (to include children.)
Alito also said that the Marshalls thought the magistrate had made the affidavit part of the warrant at the request of the marshalls. Alito said that even if the magistrate had by oversight failed to do that, that it was not unreasonable for one of the Marshalls to believe it had been done.
The entire question had to do with whether the Marshall had acted reasonably.
