Justice Breyer talks to the court about his underwear

The Supreme Court considered today whether a 13-year-old girl's Fourth Amendment rights were violated when school officials strip searched her, looking for ibuprofen 400 mg, a prescription strength pain killer.

Savana Redding was an eighth-grade honors student in 2003 when two female school officials conducted the search - a traumatic memory she carries with her everyday.

Justice Breyer said he could understand the suspicion that Savana may have hidden the pills in her undergarments because people sometimes do hide things in their underwear, but instead he said: "When I was 8 or 10 or 12 years old, you know, we did take our clothes off once a day, we changed for gym, OK? And in my experience, too, people did sometimes stick things in my underwear."

Everyone laughed hysterically, including the justices.
