Did the cops bust down the door and enter an apartment without a warrant or not?

A warrant has NEVER (in the history of Western law) been required for exigent circumstances. Even at the time of the Founders, if you were in the process of destroying evidence, it could be seized without a warrant.

Liberaltarians want the Fourth Amendment to read in a way that it does not.

The Fourth Amendment only protects against UNREASONABLE searches and seizures. It DOES NOT and NEVER HAS required a warrant for EVERY search or seizure.

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Perhaps you can explain why you are more qualified than Justice Alito to expound upon this area of the law? Can you start with where you went to Law School and in what State you are licensed to practice law?
