Chocochip66: This unanimous opinion of the Supreme Court effectively constitutionalized racial profiling. AND despite its enduring consequences, Whren remains good law today. SMH. April 11th, 2021 2:08pm

AppleOrange01: I agree that the Whren opinion must be rewritten. The opinion must incorporate racial justice concerns into Fourth Amendment jurisprudence, a body of law that has long elided and marginalized the racialized dimensions of policing. April 22nd, 2021 8:51am

SoulCycleStar: What an insightful and thoughtful piece. I would love to hear of other's thoughts on whether they believe the Court's hands were indeed tied as indicated by the fact that the Whren decision was unanimous, and that even progressive Justices signed on. April 27th, 2021 9:01am
