The fact of the matter is that Congress could never write a law involving a Constitutional right so broad as to cover every possible event. If the court's opinions get out of whack, Congress can step in with a more definitive amendment.
If the facts of this case are reported accurately, it appears that the issues are entry without invitation followed by a consent search. To this point the courts have allowed entry to stop a felony in progress. The problem with this one is that the transaction was over. A felony had occurred, but was no longer in progress. It will be interesting to read the Supreme Court's decision. A decision that cannot be appealed and will be the law.
A judge is asked to settle the difference of opinion, by offering a third opinion. They are not "creating law"; they are settling a dispute as to what the written law means.
Thankfully, this third opinion is reviewed by district judges to determine if Utah judges are ruling in compliance with the United States.
