If I was a US judge, I'd be willing to listen to arguments that entry without a warrant to protect someone being victimized is in support of the Fourth Amendment.
How does one say “it runs afoul of the Fourth Amendment” and then later agree to a partial abrogation of the 4th under certain circumstances? Again I ask: What part of “shall not be violated” don’t they understand? It doesn’t say “shall not be violated except in case of domestic violence” does it?
