...will be unable to persuade trial judges to block the use of the evidence gathered with it. The ruling did not address the question of whether this good-faith exception would apply when police act without a warrant, but the court may look at that issue soon. Dissenter William Brennan thought the majority had done enough already. "In case after case, I have witnessed the court's gradual but determined strangulation of the rule," he wrote. "It now appears that the court's victory over the Fourth Amendment is complete." David Shrager, president of the Association of Trial...
Physical therapies are helpful not only in relieving pain, but in helping patients get on with their lives despite it.

Burger argues that the creche is "passive...
...major danger," he writes, "to the reorganisation that stems from premature rejection of collective-bargaining agreements is that the debtor-in possession will reject an agreement he would not have rejected upon further deliberation." Brennan sees that too much power has been given to businesses eager to cut back on labor costs. Unfortunately, he spoke with the minority here. Still more unfortunately, no one spoke at all (in the court, at any rate) against the violations of labor rights in the first part of the decision...
