Summary
The Supreme Court just handed down two landmark rulings—one striking down coercive plea deals that silence appeals over forced medication, and another declaring cellphone location tracking a Fourth Amendment search. Justice Gorsuch, while siding with the outcomes, issued fiery dissents warning that the Court’s blind spots on plea bargaining and shaky privacy precedents are dangerously eroding civil liberties. He slammed the legal framework for determining privacy expectations as constitutionally hollow and called for a full reckoning with precedents that have let law enforcement walk all over individual rights. These opinions aren’t just dissent—they’re a clarion call for judicial self-correction, even if change moves glacially.
