Unanimous. I'm somewhat shocked.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday against warrantless searches by police and seizures in the home in a case brought by a man whose guns officers confiscated after a domestic dispute.

"The very core of the Fourth Amendment's guarantee is the right of a person to retreat into his or her home and 'there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion,' " Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the court.

I'm surprised Alito didn't dissent.

Using a statute to seize guns without due process. Good for SCOTUS.

Should have read the thread when argued. You wouldn't be surprised

Oh no. I completely think it warrants unanimous. I just always expect Sotomeyer or Alito to be contrarian.

AG
A buddy of mine posted the results of the decision on Facebook and I "Liked" the post. I then followed up with a post saying "Big Blow for President Magoo."

The Like is showing in his feed but my Pres. Magoo post has been pending for 30 minutes and doesn't appear in my activity log anywhere. Is Facebook playing goalie and refusing to post anything making fun of Magoo?

Alito says in concurrence that States should issues procedures that allow warrants for wellness checks on medical conditions

"Some guy is really crazy on Twitter posting about how great Trump is and how he loves 2nd Amendment, I think we need check his mental health, can I get a warrant to go in his house?"

no thanks, and a scary idea.

I'd expect nothing less from Alito.
