From Chief Judge Edmondson of the Eleventh Circuit, concurring in the en banc Fourth Amendment decision in Powell v. Barrett:
I do not write in a complaining spirit. I unhesitatingly concur in the Court’s judgment and in almost all of today’s Court opinion. I write separately because I think it is jurisprudentially unsound to look at a Justice’s dissenting opinion to determine what the Supreme Court has decided in a case.
To the degree that our Court today seems to make some verifying use–I think unnecessarily–of this approach, I cannot join it.
