It wouldn't get one's goat quite so, except that we are told early and often that Scalia, Roberts, and Alito are Strict Constitutional Interpreters and not the sort of vile activist judges who would decide a case on their own biased vision of how the world would best work. It should have been an open-and-shut case, as the First Congress gave helpful hints like "[T]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects," and not "[U]m, like, until the police are sufficiently professional that they don't need external oversight any more."
