Should the government be able to search computers at the border without a warrant? If so, with how much cause? And how far should such searches be able to go? Lower courts are divided on these issues, and the Supreme Court is likely to answer these questions soon. Professor Orin Kerr will present the questions and offer his views on how the Supreme Court should answer them. Professor Bob Weisberg will join us as a guest host.
