I am an attorney as well. The older I get, the more liberal I get on crim law matters. I know some freepers will not agree, but the govt needs to be checked.
I don’t think that makes you or us liberal.
My dream justice protects the rights of the accused, and rigidly holds the line on federalism and the commerce clause.
Thomas has the latter down pat. Scalia the former. So a hybrid of the two would be just right.
The Raisch case really soured me on Scalia, but he is still very good 90% of the time.
Thomas has never seen an illegal search, so I don’t count on him in these criminal procedure cases.
I was pleased to see he joined this opinion.
I guess Roberts and Alito will join the club after they finally see the out of control police state at it’s worst.
Hopefully it’s not too late by then.

Preferably Libertarian than Liberal.
