Hearings, there are many experts who would contend the complexity of the geopolitics that led to the u. S. Retreat from europe created an opening for putin and the ukraine.

And if the government can then just say, all right, now, give us all that information, then theyve reduced the Fourth Amendment to a nullity. The final point ill make is that dont be confused with the idea that theres Something Special about hotels. The amount of government regulation here is massive. The reason that the deputy solicitor general is here on behalf of the United States is that there are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of regulatory schemes the federal government administers where it is now required to use a subpoena. But what selfrespecting regulator wouldnt love Justice Alito a subpoena, a subpoena is worthless when what is sought is something that can be easily destroyed, hidden or falsified.
