Supreme Court on Child Strip Search

The US Supreme Court ruled, in an 8-1 decision, that strip search of a 13-years-old girl in a school in Arizona was a violation of her Constitutional rights. Read the story in NYTimes. There is also a link to the decision.

What is intersting is the saying couted from Justice Ginsburg:

““They have never been a 13-year-old girl,” Justice Ginsburg said. “It’s a very sensitive age for a girl. I don’t think that my colleagues, some of them, quite understood.””

It reminds me of  judicial activism. Does the above statement mean that a wise old man and a wise old woman would NOT reach the same conclusion when deciding cases (story here)

Justice Thomas wrote dissenting opinion. He believes that: “Preservation of order, discipline and safety in public schools is simply not the domain of the Constitution”
