THE SUPREME COURT DECISION:

So the police lied and took his guns with no warrant and no clear suspicion that he was even unstable. But they took his guns anyway.

The case was resolved at the Supreme Court Monday. The usually divided court was united, protecting the man’s rights 9-0. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the unanimous opinion, “stating that law enforcement can execute ‘many civic tasks in modern society,’ but there is ‘not an open-ended license to perform them anywhere.’” “The very core of the Fourth Amendment,” Thomas wrote, is the “right of a man to retreat into his own home and there be free from unreasonable search and seizure.”

“Fourth Amendment’s overarching reasonableness requirement”

Gross OVERREACHING rather than “overarching”!

9-0. That was a massive hit on the Biden administration and this should be lead news on every stations.

Still not on CNN.

Had the Supreme Court allowed this the “caretaker” exception would have swallowed the whole 4th Amendment.

9-0 is a major slap down to the First Circuit court of appeals.

If I am reading this correctly, even liberal Supremes, such as The (Un)Wise Latina and her pal Kagan had to vote against this.

I remember reading of a case from years back, in which a Police Chief illegally confiscated a man’s legally registered and taxed MINT Thompson machine gun.

It took him two years to get his firearm back, and when he did, it was a rusted up wreck.

>> Just How Extreme (and Dangerous) the Biden Administration Really Is <<

It took the population this long to understand the danger we’re in? We went overnight from a MAGA country to a Tianamin Square type of nation.

Per pResident Jomentia Xiden our God Given Constitutional Rights are not absolute and his Just Us Department is attempting to prove it.

This one reeks of an intentional fail.

Does that mean the SC needs at least 11 more new members?

Notice they didn’t mention ANYTHING about a 2nd Amendment violation.

Sigh. Guns had very little to do with this decision. It was a straightforward 4th Amendment case. See this post for more info.

Do these people even bother to read the opinion before they start writing this crap?

Ms. Wolf, it’s time to shoot the bastards, even though this ruling is correct.

The "reasonableness requirement" is not intended to imply "sure, this is prohibited, but if you want to do it anyway, go ahead." In fact, the 4th amendment spells out what is "reasonable":

...no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Stretching this to mean "searching without a warrant is reasonable when the government says it is" is an amazing bit of intellectual gymnastics and a transparent move toward a police state. Why even have a Fourth Amendment at all?

Biden is also funding the terrorists launching 3,000 rockets and counting into Israel. He gave them $120 million last April.
