No, he's a supreme court justice in Montanna. Those are typically appointed for life, but your milage varies by state. > They can do those things, any one can, but they can't use that evidence > in court. As I understand the letter of the law that is. It's not a good idea even if it's only used to fill a file or get a warrent to raid your house. It's a waste of public money to dig through trash on a whim, and it's offensive. A raid is not something you want. They used a good case to get a bad principle enacted. The judge realized that and complained without actually standing up for himself.
