The New York Times | A Justice's Sense of Privilege

"If this had been an old-time Hollywood movie, the Supreme Court justice would have turned a kindly face toward the marshal and said, in an avuncular tone: 'No, no. We don't do that sort of thing in this country. Please return the recordings.'
But this is the United States in the 21st century where the power brokers have gone mad. They've deluded themselves into thinking they're royalty, not public servants charged with protecting the rights and interests of the people. Both recordings were erased. Only then was the reporters' property returned.
When agents acting on behalf of a Supreme Court justice can just snatch and destroy information collected by reporters, we haven't just thumbed our nose at the Constitution, we've taken a very dangerous step in a very ugly direction. The depot at the end of that dark road is totalitarianism."

Much like the Bubba Bush administration itself, the current Supreme Court is soiling the very Constitution that is is supposed to stand for.

BTW: Privilege, from its Latin roots, means literally "private law".
