A note on the Exclusionary Clause
The Supreme Court on the 15th of June rendered an opinion on an illegal search and seizure case. It was a violation of the Knock and Announce provision of searching under authority of a warrant. Hudson v. Michigan is the case. Be sure to take a look at Justice Breyer's dissenting opinion. I wonder how this will play out when it is inevitably applied to a governmental office holder like Republican Senator Bill Jefferson of Louisiana.

I often wonder if historical cases so highly acclaimed were spot on to begin with.

I often wonder why somebody vs. somebody case of the past is used as justification for a current case.
That rational seems 2B a pagoda box if homework is done to the contrary against previous cases alike.
I don't understand nor do I pretend to.
Nocturnal - I believe there is a lifeform that has co-evolved with the development of case-law, lawyers, I know nasty brutish creatures that they are, they are the only creatures able to digest that complex melange of toxic terminology.
