When the Supreme Court lost its most conservative member earlier this year, many thought that the remaining term could be a disaster for personal liberty cases. It turns out they were right. In the most recent decision, however, it’s not the court’s liberal wing who’s to blame. This time, the court’s traditionally conservative members dealt a confusing blow to the constitution’s Fourth Amendment.
Justices Thomas, Alito, Breyer, Kennedy, and Roberts joined forces in a decision that would grant the government additional search and seizure authority without probable cause. The decision likely intends to empower the police to stop and punish crime, but without prior knowledge of a crime being committed, all it does is allow a private citizen to be subject to imprisonment at the whim of U.S. authorities.
See what power this decision gives the U.S. government on the next page:
Oh great
Another reason cops will get shot
Just what we need
If they do that to me with out probable cause somebody will be be a dead son of a bitch
Anybody else see that this may be more that freedoms…in a time where blacks and cops are head to head….the police were just given more power …then more reason for blacks to hate them more…..oh this is going to be bad….i hope the police don’t take the bait and stick to current policy
Why…….?

This article is ridiculous. The author has a 1st grader’s comprehension of the Constitution and this issue.
This is another version of bill in congress which would have given Lynch and the DOJ the right to arrest people for any reason.
Supreme court acting like a domestic terrorism organization. They are supposed to uphold the constitution, not rewrite it.
