It looks like the Court has confused all of its law about the good faith/intentionality of law enforcement under the warrant requirement with the Sixth Amendment. Next we'll have coerced confessions admitted on the basis that officers were acting in good faith.

You want some semi-related stupidity,
this one (easiest single link I found) in Illinois is great. Get the legislature to pass a law allowing hearsay from someone who is missing and kinda presumed dead, yet no one has been charged with her murder, made to her pastor to be admitted in the trial for another, years earlier murder.
It's like a really, really bad movie, one that would star Tommy Lee Jones and Ashley Judd.
