See this report on SCOTUSBlog, which begins: “Lawyers for the leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives have asked a federal judge in Washington, D.C., to rule that the Justice Department acted unconstitutionally in staging a prolonged search of the congressional office of Rep. William Jefferson, a Louisiana Democrat under investigation on possible bribery charges. On Wednesday, the House’s Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group filed a friend-of-court brief in the case in which the congressman is seeking the return of all items taken from his legislative office.” The post links to the amicus brief as well as a DOJ filing in the case.
