In discussing contours of when evidence must be suppressed for Fourth Amendment violations, #SCOTUS engaged in strong debate about policing.
-
-
When the defendant's lawyer got up, arguing the purpose of the stop was to try and find a warrant, the Chief Justice pressed hard on safety.
-
Saying that officers could often run warrant check for safety, Chief Justice asked how often officers get shot when making stops.
-
More to come, but I thought it was notable how far into today's politics today's SCOTUS arguments got.
-
The Chief Justice opened Monday's Supreme Court sitting by noting the death of Justice Scalia, the court's mourning for his death, and ...
-
... a brief recitation of Scalia's accomplishments and time on the bench, including noting he authored 292 majority opinions.
-
The Chief then noted that Scalia "was also known, on occasion, for his dissents."
-
Note: A correction to the Chief's earlier statement —> Justice Scalia authored 282 majority opinions, per the court.
