Why is this even debatable? How was the Supreme Court decision a 5-4
decision instead of 9-0? Where are all of the "liberals" who were so
enraged at Bush's assault on freedom?

Lawyers for the Obama administration will argue next week that US
authorities are not required to obtain a search warrant before attaching a
GPS device to an individual’s car in order to keep tabs on them.

The case, set to be heard on Tuesday by the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals
in Philadelphia, comes over a year after a US Supreme Court decision failed
to convince the Department of Justice that warrantless GPS tracking is an
infringement on Americans' Constitutional rights.

“This case is the government’s primary hope that it does not need a judge’s
approval to attach a GPS device to a car,” Catherine Crump, a lawyer with
the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) told Wired magazine.

In January 2012 the Supreme Court overruled an Obama administration
assertion that police should be permitted to affix a GPS device to a
personal vehicle without a search warrant. Questions were left, however,
when the Court declined to answer whether that type of search was
unreasonable and when justices could not reach a consensus on how police
would need to monitor a suspect before requesting a warrant.

“We hold that the government’s installation of a GPS device on a target’s
vehicle, and its use of that device to monitor the vehicle’s movement,
constitutes a ‘search,’” Justice Antonin Scalia wrote for the five-justice
majority last January.

I declare to you, from the bottom of my heart, that no Socialist system can
be established without a political police. Many of those who are advocating
Socialism or voting Socialist to-day will be horrified at this idea. That
is because they are short-sighted, that is because they do not see where
their theories are leading them. - Winston
