Another great post. One question: I thought the court had reconsidered and walked back the so called Kavanaugh stops--including Kavanaugh himself.

Thanks! The way I'd put it is that Kavanaugh sort of tried to do that with language in a footnote in his concurrence to a case about IL and the National Guard.

This law professor (see link below) says he's "puzzled" by how to reconcile the two statements and I think that's why the whole thing is clear as mud. The SC needs to do a better job delineating its standards and I hope they come out strongly against racial profiling. https://blog.dividedargument.com/p/race-the-fourth-amendment-and-immigration
