“There’s very few Supreme Court cases about it, and very few about the responsibility of the federal and state government,” said Yoo, a strong advocate for presidential power who helped author the “torture memos” on interrogation after the Sept. 11 attacks. “So whenever you have that kind of uncertainty, that’s where people step in — lower courts, litigants — and just start getting creative.”

Yoo added that the contests over the Fourth Amendment might be the most significant as the space where individual liberties may most be at stake. That amendment protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures and requires the federal government to obtain warrants based on probable cause to enter a person’s home. It has been tested under a Trump administration policy that allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to enter people’s homes with administrative warrants issued by the executive branch, instead of a judge.
