SCOTUS: Drug sniffing Dogs require a Warrant
SCOTUS: Drug sniffing Dogs require a Warrant A divided Supreme Court on Tuesday gave notice to the nation’s law enforcement officials that they generally need search warrants to employ drug-sniffing dogs outside a home to detect whether drugs are inside. The case decided 5-4 involving a suspected Florida drug dealer limited the government’s ability to intrude into the home and was a blow to police. Law enforcement officials told the justices that the practice was “widely used,” and wanted the high court to sanction warrantless dog-sniff searches as the high court has for airport luggage or vehicles stopped during routine traffic stops. A private residence, and the “curtilage” surrounding it, is another story and is protected by “ancient and durable roots,” [...]

SCOTUS: Gay Marriage Argument Analysis
SCOTUS: Gay Marriage Argument Analysis Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, in an unusually candid process of elimination of options in public, on Tuesday worked his way through the ways for dealing with California’s Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage and seemed strongly tempted to just take a pass. He appeared to be troubled about the Court entering “uncharted waters,” on the core issue of who may marry, but at the same time, he also did not look comfortable with any of the other, more limited options. So he openly wondered why the Court had agreed even to hear this case. Focusing on Kennedy, although that is often the closest one can come to anticipating outcomes on a divided Court, was an even more reliable approach this time given that the other eight Justices [...]
SCOTUS to hear Michigan Affirmative Action case
The U.S. Supreme Court will take a look at Michigan’s ban on affirmative action, it was announced today. The court is already looking at the issue of race in university admissions in case out of Texas. Court watchers say the court could issue a ruling in that case this spring and still hear the Michigan case in the fall, depending on what the ruling is. Carl Tobias, a professor at the University of Richmond School of Law, said since the justices haven’t ruled yet on the Texas case, the decision Monday could indicate the court is looking to the Michigan case to consider an even broader ruling. “This could be a much broader ruling if the court were to decide that the (Michigan) ban was constitutional,” Tobias said. If such an admissions policy a ban were found [...]
SCOTUS Takes up California’s ban on Same-Sex Marriage
At ten o’clock tomorrow morning, the Justices will hear one hour of oral arguments on the constitutionality of California’s Proposition 8, which amended that state’s constitution to prohibit same-sex marriages. The Court will then return on Wednesday morning to hear nearly two hours of arguments on the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage for federal laws and programs – including things like income taxes, estate taxes, and Social Security survivors’ benefits – as a union between a man and a woman only. Under any circumstances, the same-sex marriage cases would shine a spotlight squarely on the Court, but that spotlight will be even brighter given the recent coverage of the dramatic growth in public support for same-sex marriage, reflected not [...]
Scalia on Voting Rights Act: Perpetuation of Racial Entitlement
A central provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 may be in peril, judging from tough questioning on Wednesday from the Supreme Court’s more conservative members. Justice Antonin Scalia called the provision, which requires nine states, mostly in the South, to get federal permission before changing voting procedures, a “perpetuation of racial entitlement.” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. asked a skeptical question about whether people in the South are more racist than those in the North. Justice Anthony M. Kennedy asked how much longer Alabama must live “under the trusteeship of the United States government.” The court’s more liberal members, citing data and history, said Congress remained entitled to make the judgment that the provision was still needed in the [...]
President Obama opposes Defense of Marriage Act in U.S. Supreme Court argument
The Obama administration on Friday called for the U.S. Supreme Court to declare the federal government's 1996 ban on same-sex marriage benefits unconstitutional, saying "gay and lesbian people have been subject to a significant history of discrimination in this country." U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli's legal brief urges the court to uphold a federal appeals court ruling that found the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional. The administration's position was not unexpected because it has already expressed its legal position in challenges to DOMA, including in a case involving a San Francisco couple. But the legal brief marked the first time a president has endorsed same-sex marriage rights in the Supreme Court. Administration lawyers expressed particular concern about [...]
The growing sheriffs rebellion against gun control
Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona will be among many other sheriffs refusing to enforce gun confiscation. By Doc Vega As the Obama administration attempts to step up efforts against US citizens having the right to bear arms, a right guaranteed in the US Constitution under the Second Amendment, a rebellion against federal tyranny is underway. It seems that America’s sheriffs departments who are acknowledging the oaths they took to uphold the US Constitution are resisting the imposition of the new gun control laws. Probably the oldest branch of law enforcement in the United States has taken upon itself to step up to the plate in the performance of their duty and guarantee the rights of the civilians in their counties to protect themselves from violence with the very arms they have [...]
Henry Kissinger confirming suspicions of New World Order
By Doc Vega In 2009 at the very threshold of a President Obama administration, a curious thing happened that could have been interpreted as a harbinger of things to come. With all the crisis and chaos making its way across America in the last 4 years under the present White House, one might find it ironic that this particular figure made such an insightful statement about how international relations could take on a new and ominous development as a result of President Obama’s presence. An influential statesman with a globalist philosophy Henry Kissinger appearing on a CNN financial report made a revealing statement, as he was interviewed by Haines on the Wall Street trading floor. When asked about what he thought about such problems as Gaza in the Middle East, 30 years of [...]
