Reply #218: And Breyer, Kagan and Sotomayor are wrong IMO

[rpannier]

I've never found Breyer to be a solid liberal vote

The worst part of their voting with the majority is found in Ginsburg's dissent:
The police bear a heavy burden when attempting to demonstrate an urgent need that might justify warrantless searches.
The heavy burden has not been carried here.
(break)
Nothing in the record shows that, prior to the knock at the apartment door, the occupants were apprehensive about police proximity.


It's a crappy decision by the majority and Kagan and Sotomayor should be pilloried (verbally) for their agreeing with the majority. Not because of who is in the majority, but because of the ramifications and consrquences of this decision.
