If the warrant is valid, how is it the fault of the police? Go after the judge that issued the warrant if anything.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's my POINT. If the warrant was issued there was either (A) enough evidence for it to not be the Cop's fault or (B) it's the judge's fault for not demanding more evidence.

Except that the Supreme Court didn't rule on the validity of the warrant. They ruled that given a valid warrant, the police are allowed to execute it. So your conclusion that cops have carte blanche to ignore who lives at places is faulty. The judge just has to wake up and demand a reasonable amount of evidence.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Which he apparently didn't. What defines a legitimate warrant? When the judge declares it so?

Pretty much, yes. That is the point of having to go to a judge to get a warrant and all.

Scratch all of that, we're losing sight of what this case was actually about, which is that the police conducted the search wrongly and that the victims are entitled to compensation.

Entitled under what statute? We live in a culture where everyone thinks they're "entitled" to just about anything they want. Also, how exactly did they conduct the search wrongly? They went to the location described by the warrant and conducted a search. Seems pretty straightforward.
