The Supreme Court has revived a Christian college's challenge to President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul. The court on Monday ordered the federal appeals court in Richmond, Va., to consider the claim by Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., that Obama's health care law violates the school's religious freedoms. A federal district judge rejected Liberty's claims, and the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the lawsuit was premature and never dealt with the substance of the school's arguments. The Supreme Court upheld the health care law in June. The justices used lawsuits filed by 26 states and the National Federation of Independent Business to uphold the health care la w by a 5-4 vote, then rejected all other pending appeals, including Liberty's. The school made a new filing with the court over the summer to argue that its claims should be fully evaluated in light of the high court decision. The administration said it did not oppose Liberty's request. What will the Supreme Court look at when reviewing this challenge to the healthcare law? Attorney & Former Federal Prosecutor 
Doug Burns joins Tony this morning
Smart phones, tablets and other mobile devices are filled with individuals' highly personal data including e-mails, photos, contact data, financial and medical information. It is the type of private material that was previously kept in one's residence; such material was precisely the kind that was contemplated by the drafters of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. However, since technology appears to be outpacing legal reasoning, some courts have rejected the idea that during an arrest, the information contained within a smart phone would require a warrant prior to the search of its contents. The U.S. Supreme Court has not specifically addressed searches of cell phones following an arrest, but a number of courts, including the Federal Courts of the Fourth and Fifth Circuits, have relied upon an exception to the Fourth Amendment, which was created by the High Court and allows police officers to search objects in the possession or reach of an arrested person following an arrest.
