If only those 6 conservative justices would have their property seized by police. Doesn't matter if they didn't do anything; never did.

You do realize these laws don't apply to the rich. The police is there to protect the rich.

Don’t forget social control, that’s another part of the function of police

Two of them actually put their name to an opinion wanting it to be challenged in general. Unfortunately, this case didn’t directly challenge the practice, just a very narrow issue if rather or not a preliminary hearing was required. With the 3 dissenting liberals, that’s 5 votes to eliminate it.
