U.S. Supreme Court will hear Utah case on police searches
4 comments | Read story
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.
WE HAVE COURTS IN BOX ELDER COUNTY THAT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WE THE pEOPLE
THE COURT IS IN VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION IN THE FIRST PLACE
They fail to see the Flag that is pushed so far back in the Corner.
