I've been troubled for some time about the degree to which our Fourth Amendment protections seem to be be falling away in the wake of recent Supreme Court opinions. A study by Professor Thomas Clancy (analyzed and discussed at Grits for Breakfast) examines the behavior of John Roberts on these issues during his tenure on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Prof. Clancy's findings are considerably less than reassuring.
