"A welcome indication of the conservative leaning of Justice Alito"
conservatives: less govt, less govt interference in our private lives, adherence to the constitution.
This decision is not conservative...a true conservative on the bench would protect individual rights and the rights of the people to be safe and secure in their homes. No knock home invasions are extremely dangerous for both the police and the homeowner...and when mistakes are made as they often are, innocent people die.
Alito and the others are traitors to we the people and our constitutionally guaranteed protections.
The cops did announce themselves. I really don't have an issue with this decision. The problems you raise are more of a practical matter than a Constitutional matter, since the cops had a warrant and due process was followed.
Well it looks like there's 4 on the court that aren't traitors according to your statement.
Would you please cite the constitutional clause requiring the police to knock and say "pretty please with sugar on top" prior to attempting entry while serving a search warrant?
