This one (Riley v. California) from yesterday was about whether or not the cops can just scroll through your cell phone without a warrant. Spoiler warning: not just ‘no.’ Hell, no. And it wasn’t even close:
With today’s decision, the Court displayed a unanimity that was somewhat uncharacteristic for such a momentous case on an issue like privacy: only Justice Samuel Alito wrote separately, although he agreed with the result in the case and much of the Court’s reasoning.
Yeah, 9-0 decisions typically happen for a reason. And often that reason is to, ah, clarify things on a particular topic.

Heh.
I’ve learned to avoid too much Supreme Court prognostication. I’m just glad I happened to call the recess appointments one.
