> So after investing a lot of time and money in trying to get case law to expand the DoJ's power over corporations to conscript them into the War on the 4th Amendment, it become possible that they would see a judgement against them (especially if the Supreme court becomes more liberal with the next appointment).

Scalia would have hated the DoJ's argument here, honestly. If the Supreme Court even agreed to hear the government's appeal here it might well have been 9-0 against.

And I say this as someone with a low opinion of Scalia, in general.
