A couple of months ago, this blog commented on the strip search case that was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court.
In an 8-1 decision, the Court today ruled that, indeed, this girl's rights were violated by an egregiously over-reaching school administration in Safford, Arizona. The Fourth Amendment stands strong, at least in this case. The one dissent? Clarence Thomas. Time to punch his ticket.
I do not have kids, but I do have nieces and nephews. If this were to happen to any of them, I would be tempted to go see that school administrator and mete out my own form of punishment on him. Thankfully, there are laws against that. And, as the Supreme Court proved today - we are a nation of laws.
