Courts should not be in the business of perpetuating administrative edicts designed for one emergency only because elected officials have failed to address a different emergency.
That Fourth Amendment test, which the Court invented in 1967, has no basis in the Constitution's text or history.
When confronted with coercive prosecutorial tactics designed to induce defendants to take plea deals, the Court has often condoned those practices or let them pass in silence.
In our times, the jury trial has given way to a conveyor belt of plea bargains.
