But speaking of privacy and the 4th Amendment, check out Judge Kozinski's dissent in a recent case involving police putting a GPS device on a suspect's car. This is but a sample:

I love that opinion so much I want to take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant. Kosinski himself, not so much -- from his web browsing habits I think he might actually take me up on the offer.
The pivotal civil rights question of the 21st century will be whether one loses the privacy of one's whereabouts merely because it's theoretically possible to observe the location of a car, or a person, if you're physically there. The framework used by the Supreme Court about observation aids assumed a certain amount of difficulty as the practical guardian of privacy. Since that's no longer true, I'm looking to the SCOTUS to engage in a little "activism" on that front.
