If you are arrested for DUI, under implied consent you are to provide a breath, urine or blood sample. If you refuse and the LEO gets a warrant, most states allows medical staff to physically get the sample.


The LEO didn't get a warrant in Mitchell. That's at the heart of the issue with this ruling and of Sotomayor's dissent.

To take it a step further, Wisconsin didn't even argue an exigency at the state level. They argued it was OK under their implied consent laws which essentially by operation of law make drivers on Wisconsin's roads consent to these searches.

To be fair 90% of small govt conservatives have nothing to do with small government, so theres that.

Yeah, it's a bad, bad ruling. I actually listened to the oral arguments back in April and have been waiting anxiously to hear where SCOTUS comes down.

Its just marketing they got people to bite on. They're all about some big government when it benefits them and their donors. The bigger, the better. I cant believe anyone is naive enough to believe what any politician says. Which "side of the aisle" they're on is completely irrelevant.

It sounds a lot like implied consent now supplants an entire amendment of our constitution.

The thing is, the Court didn't adopt and accept Wisconsin's implied consent argument, but also didn't outright reject it either. Instead they simply stated it was an exigency in this case. Major procedural and substantive problems with this ruling, considering Wisconsin conceded the lack of exigency at the state level.

You can do it your own way, if it's done just how we say.

This ruling is horseshite on so many levels.

quote:

ruled that blood can be drawn from an unconscious driver who cannot be given a breath test because it poses an urgent situation that eliminates the need for a warrant


There is NEVER a justification for eliminating the need for a warrant. Ever.

I don’t think owning/renting a home/apartment isn’t mentioned in the constitution either. So I guess they don’t need to get a warrant to barge into them either right?

Just as a balm to all the republicans concerned Justice Gorsuch broke liberal on them he didn't. He did not dissent with the 3 "liberal" judges but provided his own separate dissent. He was troubled as lsu2006 seems to be that the case was not decided on the application of the exigent circumstances doctrine. He would have dismissed the case as improvidently granted and waited for a case to actually argue the exigent circumstances doctrine. In essense, he says they granted cert in order to decide one issue but decided on a different set of issues that should never have been heard by the court.

What if I told you it's possible to get a warrant while you're sleeping it off?

There's no end to the authoritarian crap John Roberts will countenance.

Remember how easy his confirmation process was? Yeah. That dude's compromised- owned lock, stock, and barrel by the establishment / one percent / deep state / whatever your side calls it.

Just call him evil if you want. Works for me.

No they ruled that implied consent laws are constitutional.

Which is the 10th amendment at work.

No it isn’t. This case has nothing to do with the 10th amendment and everything to do with the 4th. The court took it upon itself to expand the exigency exception to the warrant requirement of the 4th amendment. The exigency exception should be chipped away at as technology aides the ease of obtaining a warrant, not the other way around.
