Critics of the decision say the court – in a 3-2 ruling – tossed out hundreds of years of common law when it could have focused more narrowly, noting police in the case had probable cause to investigate a domestic abuse allegation and the wife inferred her permission for them to enter the home.

I also think this would fall under the exigent circumstances exception to the fourth amendment. The court is making up law where it doesn't need to.

The Chief Justice totally ignored the circumstance of the woman calling in the cops. Only someone steeped in the arcane of Islamic Law would do that ~ and Mullah Dau'd is so steeped.

That occurred over the many years when he was Chief Defense Counsel for detainees subject to the Military Commission’s proceedings at Guantanamo Bay.

It's pretty obvious that he's Gone Over and simply can't be trusted to write a case decision according to American traditions.
