Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. Doctrinally, either answer is at least plausible; even under my own take of what Carpenter means, it's not an easy call.
  2. As I have argued here, I don't think TOS alter Fourth Amendment rights—up or down.
