Have you read the case? It relates to "protective sweeps" made for the protection of an officer. The police were allowed in by a resident of the home. They looked under the bed to see if the guy was hiding there and found some guns.

South Louisiana can be a dangerous place. There was information that this guy had threatened to kill two judges.

You are right about the facts, but the law is not limited to them. There's an old saying that bad cases make bad law. If they can look under his bed, then they can look under mine or yours. No arrest warrant, no search warrant -- just the consent of an informant to gain entry plus the bare recital of "officer safety." The rule is not limited to dangerous places, or circumstances involving a threat to kill judges.

Dissenting justices Harold DeMoss Jr. and Carl E. Stewart wrote that there is "no doubt that the deputy sheriffs believed they were acting reasonably and with good intentions. But the old adage warns us that 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions.' "

By the way, there's an excellent discussion of the Gould case here.

What is the "growing movement to stop the Supreme Court from protecting what's left of our freedom"?

There are laws and proposals floating around to limit the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. The goal is to reverse Marbury v. Madison, and render the Supreme Court unable to declare any legislation unconstitutional. This would destroy the balance of power, and allow Congress to do away with the Bill of Rights if it wanted. (While reversing Marbury might have made sense in Jefferson's day, considering the huge, unchecked growth of the federal government since then, now it would be very dangerous.)

For more information see H.R. 3920, and this post.

As you've probably guessed by now, I'm totally opposed to this movement to castrate the Supreme Court.

How does a warrant endanger the safety of a police officer? It's just a piece of paper. Does it have some special poison on it that seeps into their fingers? (I know, I know, wicked Wanda... But anyway...)

Sorry I haven't been decorating your posts with my comments the last day or so, but I don't have anything worth saying right now, and been busy reading an interesting book on liberals vs. conservatives, as well as something special Dean Esmay honored me with. I can't say anything more about it than this: what a terrific writer he is! -- and so are you!
