Actually, from a strict conservative Constitutionalist standpoint, Newt may well have it right. There’s a real issue with separation of powers here.

From Grut: The government’s case is essentially that, given a warrant signed by a lower court judge (who may have just had a decision overturned), any Supreme Court Justice’s chambers may be searched by the FBI without further ado. This may prove to be a surprisingly hard sell at the USSC.

If 2 of the branches agree that the 3rd branch can be searched, then it's still unconstitutional? That doesn't make sense, unless the legislative branch was not meant to have any check or balances against it at all. (Not that they accept that, anyway)

Separation of powers, with the inter-branch checks and balances set in place by the constitution, does not mean that congress gets a free pass.

But, then, CONgress does often appear to be the opposite of PROgress, doesn't it?
