Barry Reply June 25, 2015, 11:53 am The usual dishonesty from Scalia, although his dissent on a decision upholding the Fourth Amendment[1] does win the week's Scalian Award. [1] He labeled is as reeking of 1984. A decision *limiting* police powers.
anon Reply June 25, 2015, 12:14 pm Good analogy. It is all just politics to get (or complain about) the result. The facts, law and reasoning to get to (or avoid) the desired result are all sort of irrelevant in such cases.
