Supreme Court: Strip search of child illegal


By an eight-to-one verdict, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday morning that “a school’s strip search of an Arizona teenage girl accused of having prescription-strength ibuprofen was illegal,” the Associated Press reports.


Bloomberg has more:


The justices said officials at the Arizona middle school acted unreasonably when they ordered Savana Redding to partially disrobe and then shake out her bra and underwear in front of two female staff members. Another student had reported that Savana was distributing prescription-strength ibuprofen.


On Monday, Thomas also broke with his fellow justices on “an astounding 8-1 decision gave a controversial part of the 1965 Voting Rights Act (Section 5) a reprieve.” Thomas, the court’s only black member, alone voted to overturn the Voting Rights Act.
