I believe Gorsuch is correct.

The Fourth Amendment is there to limit Government, not to empower it.

Look at it another way.

You have admitted a new aquintance into your house, perhaps for a card game, or a dinner with friends.

The police knock on the door and ask to search the house.

The acquaintance yells out “come on in” and the police then have the power to enter and search, contrary to all your admonishing.

The whole of Federalism, per the Constitution, is to limit govt but, you’ll rarely, if ever, hear that articulated/argued.

IMO, more proof that Shakespeare was correct re: lawyers. Given the plain English of the Constitution, they got off into the weeds\left-field to create ‘something’ out of that which never was\existed.
