Here's the chain of causation. Illegal stop --> discovery of warrant --> arrest --> search. Each step "caused" the next.
It makes no metaphysical sense to assert that the casual chain can be retroactively "broken" -- it's already occurred! Unbelievable.
I am going to guess that Clarence Thomas has never read David Hume.
Rare, but I have to disagree. How the hell is a legit warrant not an intervening circumstance attenuating the causal link?
We already say a spontaneous confession would be sufficient to manage it.
I prefer 'crony creditalism' but yes.
