This opinion by Justice Kavanaugh is undoubtedly going to be a large part of his legacy. It would be unremarkable if he wrote this before ICE started using excessive force to detain citizens without reasonable suspicion. But he wrote it after.

I don’t find smartphones or any apps to be addictive. I just find it nearly impossible to read more than a few pages of a physical book without being interrupted.

This is irresponsible. When I was an infantry officer, I served for years in combat in Iraq. We carried weapons like this and shot insurgents with them. These are not appropriate for patrolling a Home Depot parking lot, especially with a magazine in the well.
