Warrantless eavesdropping is only unconstitutional if you pay attention to that pesky 4th Amendment. This was a good decision, even for a Carter appointee.

However, it's worth remembering that only the 9th Circuit is overturned more often than the 6th. There are still the appeals court and the Supreme Court remaining.

I'll try to stay hopeful, because this one really ought to be a slam dunk.
