John Paul Stevens was joined by Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas in a Supreme Court 5-4 ruling limiting police searches of cars of suspects under arrest. The normally conservative justices joined in the liberal interpretation of the law because:
A )Officers were misinterpreting the doctrine of stare decisis in New York v. Belton.
B )Unusual sunspot activity.
C )Souter slipped something into their coffee.
C )Ginsburg has photos.
Hint: must be pretty good photos.
