I Think I Know Why SCOTUS Does Not Grant Fourth Amendment Cases Anymore
Search and seizure cases are very fact bound. The Court wants to set general standards.

On October 15, the Supreme Court heard nearly 2.5 hours of oral argument in the Voting Rights Act Case. Without even taking a break, the Court heard the second case, fittingly titled Case v. Montana. It was obvious the Justices were spent. They said so. At one point, Justice Gorsuch referred to a case called Brigham City as Brigham Young. He apologized, and said "Sorry. I am tired." At another point, Justice Barrett apologized for mispronouncing Caniglia, and said "it's been a long day."
Still, for those who managed to slog........
