One of the more common mantras you hear about the federal court system is that its judges should not be making law—aka legislating from the bench—but should be interpreting and applying the law as it was written. A new case that may go before the Supreme Court would serve as a particularly loud reminder of that.
A bipartisan group of congresspeople—including Sens. Rand Paul (R–Ky.), Ron Wyden (D–Ore.), and Cynthia Lummis (R–Wyo.), along with Reps. Thomas Massie (R–Ky.), Nikema Williams (D–Ga.), Harriet Hageman (R–Wyo.), and Dan Bishop (R–N.C.)—are urging the high court to take up the case, which centers around a family whose home was wrongly raided by the FBI in the middle of the night and who were then denied the right to sue for damages.*
