Sometimes, Neil Gorsuch Ruled It Was<\/a> by Charles Savage:<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Although Judge Gorsuch has a decidedly conservative record on the bench, by at least one measure \u2014 his view of the Fourth Amendment\u2019s protections against unreasonable searches \u2014 he has been relatively moderate, according to legal scholars and a review of his rulings.<\/p>\n<p>Orin S. Kerr, a George Washington University law professor who specializes in Fourth Amendment and technology issues, said Judge Gorsuch\u2019s opinions suggested that he was \u201cnot a knee-jerk vote for the government.\u201d That is important, Mr. Kerr said, because the Supreme Court has yet to resolve many questions about how the Fourth Amendment applies to 21st-century communications.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe history of the Fourth Amendment is about physically breaking into houses and taking away papers, and the big question is how do you apply that physical concept to a virtual world,\u201d Mr. Kerr said. \u201cCourts are struggling with that, and there is a lot of wiggle room in how to do it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NYT: Was That Search Illegal?
