Obama’s appointee, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, dissented, saying the majority opinion misapplied prior Supreme Court search-and-seizure rulings in a manner that “unnecessarily reduces the state’s burden of proof.”

“The consequence of the majority’s approach is to absolve officers from any responsibility to investigate the identity of a driver where feasible,” Sotomayor wrote. “But that is precisely what officers ought to do — and are more than capable of doing.

But some legal experts said the ruling did not mark a dramatic shift in the justices’ approach to search-and-seizure cases. “It’s a straightforward decision that doesn’t break new theoretical ground,” said Orrin Kerr, a law professor at the University of California Berkeley.

The opinion in this case, Kansas v. Glover, reverses and remands a decision by the Kansas Supreme Court that found the officer had stopped Glover without reasonable suspicion.

#5. What did we expect from a graduate of “La Raza University”, “The Voz of Atlan Night School of Marxist Thought and Explosives”, and the leftist school of thought that good laws should not be enforced?

She is legal trash!
