Supreme Court is violating the spirit of the Constitution when ideology guides decisions.

Cases like this highlight the problem that plagues the Supreme Court: Ideology.

Justices aren't allowed to make decisions based on religious sentiments, so what do they rely on instead?

Ideology. Ideology serves as a proxy for religious sentiment.

The problem with ideology is the same as for religion. It's based on the irrational and based purely on belief without support from law or fact.

Yes, I said it. The Supreme Court is nothing more than an ideological playground for those who've managed to convince themselves that what they're doing doesn't violate the spirit of the Constitution when they use ideology as the basis for their decisions.

The whole point of the Exclusionary Rule is to insure law enforcement follows the law. If law enforcement knows they can screw up and generally ignore the Constitution, they will do so.

Now the Supreme Court has given tacit approval of such bullshit.

I don't care how smart people like to say the justices are. When they engage in such ideological decision-making, they are not serving the law, but their own agenda.

Call it what you will, but ideology is nothing more than a secular form of religion.

As the Constitution says plainly: there shall be "no law respecting an establishment of religion".

Unfortunately, the Supreme Court--our interpreter of that fine document called the Constitution--has come up with a work-around by substituting ideology for religion.

I call bullshit on that. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and acts like a duck, it's still a duck.

Same goes for ideology.
