I have to agree with this Scalia's comment "that was then, this is now" is pretty indicative of the Conservative POV.

I share office space with a conservative judge and also have some pro tem time in muni court. My office mate and myself had a discussion yesterday about signing warrants in light of this case. The warrant has its own standard, but like anything else, there is discretion to be exercised. Would you want to sign a warrant and have a cop who is the father of 3 kick in some redneck's door, only to run the risk of having the guy cut in half with a shotgun? I can't believe law enforcement isn't more vocal about the inherent danger to the officer as a result of eviscerating the exclusionary rule. I also take issue with the Scalia's comment to the effect that cops are more professional now, so we don't need the exclusionary rule. I totally agree with Bryer that the reason cops are more professional now is BECAUSE of the exclusionary rule.

Oh yeah, you're still a loser
