John Paul Stevens was
joined by Antonin Scalia
and Clarence Thomas in a
Supreme Court 5-4 ruling
limiting police searches
of cars of suspects under
arrest. The normally
conservative justices
joined in the liberal
interpretation of the law
because: |
A ) | Officers were
misinterpreting the
doctrine of stare decisis
in New York v. Belton. |
B ) | Unusual
sunspot activity. |
C ) | Souter
slipped something into
their coffee. |
C ) | Ginsburg has
photos. |
Hint: must
be pretty good photos. |
