Warrantless-Entry Ruling Challenged

Legislators Step Up Counteroffensive Against Warrantless-Entry Ruling As panel drafts bill to override decision, legislators urge rehearing

“ The brief authored by Indiana University law professor Joel Schumm argues the 3-2 ruling directly contradicts a law Steele co-sponsored five years ago which guarantees homeowners the right to self-defense in their homes or cars. Schumm describes the new doctrine as "immediate surrender," and warns it could leave Hoosiers vulnerable to crooks masquerading as police to gain entry. Steele says the public outcry over the ruling is the biggest he's ever seen. [Indiana News] I don't know if there's a political ideology component at work in the Indiana Supreme court decision , or just raw stupidity.  And it doesn't matter.  It's clearly inconsistent with the  U.S. Constitution,  and 235 years of our understanding of it.. .... Senator Michael Young had already independently announced plans to introduce legislation invalidating the decision. Better than legislating  Band-Ade solutions every time a judge jumps the shark,  is to remove him from the bench.  And key scratch his car. Before some Democrat president puts him on the SCOTUS.  Ahem.
