"Strip Search Sammy"

Julian Sanchez | November 1, 2005

I was so busy yesterday trying to deflate the hyperbole in ThinkProgress' talking points that I probably understated the genuine badness of Alito's dissent in Doe v. Groody. I noted at the time that, while I thought TP was exaggerating just how bad the decision was, I nevertheless agreed with the majority. I'll stand by that, but probably should've emphasized more that, hyperbole notwithstanding, Alito's willingness to play it fast and loose with the specific terms of a search warrant really is genuinely troubling. Majikthise makes the case.
