Naked People

If you are reading this post because of the title, prepare to be disappointed.

I am fascinated by the Supreme Court. Everyone can have their opinions about various justices, but ultimately this is nine really smart people debating important, but highly abstract legal concepts.

If I had to pick a job in journalism, I would probably go with a job covering the Supreme Court (second choice, of course, being Yankees beat reporter).

If you’ve never read the actual debates that they have, you really need to. It’s fascinating and occasionally hilarious.

A very common subject for the Supreme Court is cases involving the fourth amendment. How do you balance the constitutions prohibition against unlawful search with valid police activities? Non-trivial.

So articles like this fascinate me, and not solely because it contains the sentence

"Scalia can’t imagine naked people, I suppose"

But a funny quote nonetheless…
