Millbrook V U.S. Holding law enforcement responsible (abuse, government, states)

[pknopp]

Somehow this has seemed to have missed the attention of the MSM. This is actually a pretty major ruling.

At a time when the courts are increasingly giving deference to the police and prioritizing security over civil liberties, the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Millbrook v. United States is a glimmer of hope in a sea of gloom.

Handed down on the second day of the Court’s same-sex marriage arguments, Millbrook has been largely overshadowed by the debate over marriage equality. However, this ruling should not be overlooked—not only for what it says about the need to hold law enforcement officials accountable to abiding by the law, but more importantly for what it says about the extent to which the government has given itself free rein to abuse the law, immune from reproach.

Unanimous at that.

The high-court case media failed to cover

The police need to be held accountable and need to follow the same law they enforce. I agree with the ruling.
