Write an opinion as if you were a Supreme Court Justice deciding this case. Please note that the term “opinion” here does NOT mean an expression of your personal views! Instead, it means a formal statement of the legal reasons and principles defending your conclusion of whether text messages are protected under the Fourth Amendment in this case. To help you in making your decision, please read the summaries of past Fourth Amendment rulings above. As you read through the Supreme Court decisions above, look at how justices have crafted their decisions, and learn from them. Use these as models for your paper. Write clearly and concisely, using college-level writing. State your decision, and defend it in a minimum of 500 words. Cite precedent and the U.S. Constitution (Links to an external site.) (additional versions and resources can be found here). Refer to at least 3 of the cases featured above. Cite appropriately in text (parenthetical) as well as on a references or Works Cited sheet (formatted correctly per college and course policies). NOTE: This does NOT mean to only randomly choose 3, but to access which are the best precedent cases to use in support of your argument and that will hold constitutional muster! You may wish to also research more recent case law than is provided here. Save and submit a word processed document via file upload.
