Is It Unreasonable to Expect Cellphone Privacy?
A case that comes before the Supreme Court Wednesday may erode or solidify Justice Antonin Scalia’s legacy. How the justices decide in Carpenter v. U.S. won’t matter as much as how they reason. If they use the “reasonable expectation of privacy” test to decide whether the government can access cellphone users’ location data without a warrant, Scalia’s contributions to Fourth Amendment jurisprudence will be negated. But if the high court recognizes that data as owned in part by cellphone users, Scalia’s legacy will be secured, along with the Constitution’s safeguards against unreasonable search and seizure.

A Christian manifesto on home-buying
Buying a house appeals to basic human desires of independence, order, tranquility, family, status, and acceptance. When these desires are disordered, however, they can quickly be leveraged to justify extravagance, such that the prospective homebuyer ends up parking in the driveway of a house that can never truly be home, given that it now exists primarily as an immediate and protracted financial burden. The real estate road is littered with such homebuyers.
