I always thought that conservatives were against big government. But I guess that doesn't matter if the people who will be most affected will be African Americans and Hispanics, in proportional terms. The Supreme Court has denied that a DNA sample taken from a suspect, not a convict, is an appropriate search and seizure. There were exceptions to how the vote played out, however, with Justice Scalia joining more liberal members of the court, and Justices Breyer and Kennedy joining more conservative members in their respective decisions.
