Schools kids get back bit of civil liberties

The Supreme Court has found unconstitutional the strip search of an Arizona girl who had been believed to have “illicit” ibuprofen on her person.

That’s problem No. 1 — the portion of the inane “War on Drugs” that plays out on school campuses, so inane that Advil and generic equivalents are an “illicit drug.” And, a fellow student ratting her out?

And, shock me that Clarence Thomas would be the only person to dissent from the 8-1 ruling. I think he’s let his own mom be strip-searched for driving while black.

Tha said, Justices Stevens and Ginsburg did want the principal of the school in question to be held liable to suit, which the rest of the court rejected; only the district can now be sued.
