“The court today arms the police with a way routinely to dishonor the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement in drug cases,” Ginsburg wrote. “In lieu of presenting their evidence to a neutral magistrate, police officers may now knock, listen, then break the door down, never mind that they had ample time to obtain a warrant.” — Ruth Ginsburg, sole dissent
I have to say, my respect for Ginsburg was increased by the recent [King?] ruling.
Yeah, I know, Ruth “Bussy” Ginsburg shocks you at times, sometimes putting even the “good” ones to shame. Stevens could show amazing common sense once in a great while too. It’s like they have to save up for a few years and splurge it all on one decision or something.
