Uh, Thomas and Alito both supported it. Criminals, be aware.

Uh they put their pants on one leg at a time and are not necessarily infallible. ANYTHING that weakens individual protections is not a good thing. Ever hear of Blackstone's ratio (Better to have ten guilty go free than one innocent punished)?

Uh, I trust the judgment of Thomas and Alito over you.

Perhaps you should mingle with Kagan, Ginsburg and Sotomayor. They agree with you.

“Better to have ten guilty go free than one innocent punished”

Uh, the premise is wrong. You can walk and chew gum. I would rather 10 murderers behind bar/sentenced to death AND innocents not be in jail in the first place. Those who are “wrongly” convicted got the raw end of the deal due to their/their lawyers’ incompetence. If there is malice involved, prosecute those who fabricated evidence. Simple.
