It is about time to be faithful to our founding fathers concept of the fourth amendment. Big thumbs up.

Justice Clarence Thomas dissented, saying he would have found both tests constitutional.

When is this rube gonna retire already?

He is the worst.

RACIST..!!

Yes, black people can be jerks, too.

Unfortunately, they also did this:

"In what’s being touted as a turning point in the way the Supreme Court considers the factor of race in the criminal justice system, Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Monday delivered a scathing dissent in Utah vs. Strieff, a 4th Amendment case about police searches.

The court ruled in a 5-3 decision that it was legal for police to search someone even if he or she had been stopped without a lawful reason, as long as an outstanding warrant was later discovered. Unlawful stop or not, if you have so much as an outstanding traffic ticket, any evidence of wrongdoing turned up in a search could count against you.

Sotomayor was in the minority, with Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan, but her dissent effectively sent a stronger message than the ruling itself.

Decrying the way the decision "forgives" police who detain people based on nothing more than a hunch, Sotomayor drew on her own experience as a Latina and invoked the lessons of the Black Lives Matter movement.

“For generations, black and brown parents have given their children 'the talk,'” she wrote, “— instructing them to never run down the street; always keep your hands where they can be seen; do not even think of talking back to a stranger — all out of fear of how an officer with a gun will react."..."

Here's one huge problem:



Is Ginni Thomas' Expanding Activism a Problem for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas?

It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

Yeah. Clarence Thomas is a right wing fascist Uncle Tom asshole and has been that since the day he was stupidly admitted to the Supreme Court.

Dissing Thomas isn't racist when the disrespect doesn't have anything to do with his color and everything to do with his knee-jerk, 100% politicized hardcore conservatism.

Reality.

It's racist because I say it's racist because I disagree with your racist racism.. YOU FUCKING RACISTS..!!

It appears the Supremes have their hands tied with the 4-4 deadlock. Thanks, GOP, for living up to your image. Now, the Supreme Court, minus its 9th member, has managed to call Obama's plan for immigrants to proceed to legal status an overreach.
