Yikes! And without a fully staffed Supreme Court, now the future of the Fourth Amendment is also at stake in the coming 2016 election. BTW the Supreme Court yesterday ruled 5-3 on whether or not to continue to allow states to make it a crime to refuse warrantless DWI breath tests. Justice Sotomayor warned in her dissent the 4th Amendment danger of this ruling. (Had Scalia still been alive, the issue would likely have been decided the same.)
So, for now, the future of electronic privacy in the US rests in the hands of the 4th Circuit federal Court of Appeals.
