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.
