412. UNITED STATES V. VERDUGO-URQUIDEZ
UNITED STATES V. VERDUGO-URQUIDEZ

"The Fourth Amendment phrase "the people" seems to be a term of art used in select parts of the Constitution, and contrasts with the words "person".."



"The Preamble declares that the Constitution is ordained and established by "the People of the United States." The Second Amendment protects "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms," and the Ninth and Tenth Amendments provide that certain rights and powers are retained by and reserved to "the people."
================================================
I had to laugh at this:
"REHNQUIST, C.J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which.. SCALIA.. joined." Is it him?
