I got 535 Problems and the Court Aint One

November 8th, 2011

From Jones v. United States:

JUSTICE SCALIA: Why isn’t this precisely the kind of a problem that you should rely upon legislatures to take care of?

MR. LECKAR: That’s the same — that’s the same — same problem that the United States advanced before this Court in the United States v. District Court; give it to Congress. And what this Court there did, it held a Fourth Amendment violation so far as domestic security is concerned and gave Congress suggestions. In this particular case I could probably give you 535 reasons why not to go to Congress -(

Laughter.)
