Bullshit. That should be a prime job of SCOTUS ... holding power to account.
And as always, ACAB.
Not trying to argue against that. However a certain, REASONABLE, degree of room for decisions should absolutely be out of reach of courts. Otherwise you'll stall the executive branch on doing anything, from raiding peoples homes to assigning stands on a public fair.
Naturally the more invasive to constitutional rights the narrower that room should be and the stricter they need to be held accountable.
That being said, the USA is so far from being tightly regulated that this is even anywhere near that situation where the executive is crippled by accountability. If anything there are too few rules and to little accountability
When the government is invading peoples' homes, ENORMOUSLY increasing the chances of death for all participants, there is absolutely NO room for mistakes. They need to be 100% perfect, 100% of the time. And when they aren't, they need to be held accountable. No excuses are acceptable.
Inherent to the term "second-guessing" is that the action has already taken place and thus no one is stalled.
