WASHINGTON (Gray DC) – The government’s argument Tuesday was that they shouldn’t have to pay for their error in raiding the wrong house because it comes with the territory of the job.

Both Liberal and conservative justices weren’t buying it.

“Checking the house number at the end of the driveway means exposing the agents to potential lines of fire” argued Federal Government lawyer Jeffrey Yuanlong Liu.

“How about making sure you’re on the right street?” responded Justice Neil Gorsuch.

Justices pushed back when lawyers for the government argued that the wrong-house mistake was par for the course.

“They didn’t want to delay the start of the execution of the warrants because they wanted to execute all the warrants simultaneously,” said Lui.

Lawyers on the side of the family say the trauma of the raid cost much more than the price of a kicked-down door.
