BS I have never met a Democrat who was against the First Amendment. The Second Amendment, hell yeah. It's a stupid, obsolete amendment that should be repealed. It's pointless, and as I said I would vote to get rid of it for no other reason then to screw the hell out of you conservatives, who have been trashing all the rest of our Constitutional rights for the last 35 years.
As usual liberals support the Constitution, while Conservatives vote to use it as toilet paper
This is why I have no problem supporting a repeal of the Second Amendment. People who have so little regard for the Constitution don't deserve to have Second Amendment rights.
Supreme Court Makes Big Decision On When Cops Can Enter Your Home | by MARK SHERMAN Posted: 02/25/2014 12:12 pm EST Updated: 02/25/2014 3:59 pm EST
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that police may search a home without a warrant when two occupants disagree about allowing officers to enter, and the resident who refuses access is then arrested.
The justices declined to extend an earlier ruling denying entry to police when the occupants disagree and both are present.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote the court's 6-3 decision holding that an occupant may not object to a search when he is not at home.
"We therefore hold that an occupant who is absent due to a lawful detention or arrest stands in the same shoes as an occupant who is absent for any other reason," Alito said.
It is a simple legal question. It is not conservative vs liberal. If the cops knock on the door while you are at work, and your wife allows them in, can you sue them for illegal search saying you would not have allowed it? Of course in this case the guy was there the 1st time, but then he was absent the 2nd time, and the wife let them in.
A Michigan cancer patient is fighting back after her critical claims about ObamaCare were called into question by a Democratic congressman, who went so far as to threaten Michigan television stations running her ad.
I'm no Republican, but I've been accused of being Conservative before, despite my Liberals beliefs. Despite sharing our disgust of the GOP hypocrisy, I don't envision R's embracing this infringement & think you've become no better than they are with this dogsh*t, sick way of rationalizing your quasi-facist views on the 2nd Amendment.
In this case the Police directly asked this guy's permission to enter his home without a warrant while he was in jail. He said "No". Should have been end of story. Then the police go back to his house, knock on the door and convince the spouse to say "yes"? That's not my idea of what should be legal in the United States of America. It just further infringes on our rights incrementally at a time when we need to guard against all infringements. It also opens the door to police simply arresting the person who refuses more strongly and then coercing the weaker voice. If the case is so strong, get a warrant like we've done forever. Easy.
What part of a 6 to 3 decision don't you understand?
Why do people like you constantly revert to juvenile name calling just because people don't share your opinions?
If you can't defend your position WITHOUT the name calling, you don't have much of a case.
This is similar to the argument Obama uses in justifying the killing of American citizens without due process and it's wrong. Someone might be able to come up with different scenario's but I am discussing this one.
He's in police custody. The police are there surrounding the premises. It wouldn't take but a short time to get a judge to issue a warrant.
When Obama killed Anwar al-Awlaki he had been targeted for months and they had plenty of time to have tried him during that period. Perhaps there might be scenario's in the future not as clear and easy as these two cases but when it's actually easier to grant people their rights, there is no excuse for not doing it.

That's completely different. You did not deny them the right to enter your home. No, the police do not have to undergo a separate investigation to determine every single residents of a home, track them all down and ask them individually. In this case they were specifically told no by one of the homeowners.
As I note above it's so stupid to simply not do it the right way. A judge would have issued the warrant in a manner of minutes. With todays technology they likely could have had it at the scene in hardly no time.

Thank you for inserting some sense into the typical partisan drivel.
They might not embrace it outright but bear in mind they are the ones voting for the kind of presidents who put people like Alito on the court.
And the Democrats in Congress who approve Supreme Court nominations. The President can't do it alone.
The OP seems to REALLY want to blame conservatives for this ruling. But the case originated in California, a state totally run by liberals.
Does the OP credit conservatives for other Supreme Court rulings that prevented law enforcement from attaching a GPS tracking device to your car without a search warrant?
You both realize the Consititution has a section on the Supreme Court and they actually have a job?
