Supreme Court: Strip search of 13-year-old unconstitutional
• McClathy NewsThe Supreme Court ruled 8-1 the strip search of a 13-year-old schoolgirl violated the constitutional protection against unreasonable search and seizure.
Arizona school officials violated student Savana Redding's Fourth Amendment rights when they searched her down to her bra and underpants. Officials were looking for pain relievers, which they didn't find.
You have to love the Supremes. They rule that, yes, disrobing a girl under their "care" to look for over the counter Ibuproven is unconstitutional. And in the next breath say that school officials are protected from lawsuits. Nice. I especially liked Thomas' dissent for all those who continue to say Thomas is the most libertarian of the judges (sometimes he is): The courts shouldn't interfere with violating a person's Rights let alone common decency when it comes to school officials dealing with their "charges." Truthful. That is the way governemnt likes its decisions...unchallengable.
