People walk on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington on Saturday April 26, 2014. Two Supreme Court cases about police searches of cellphones without warrants present vastly different views of the ubiquitous device. Is it a critical tool for a criminal or is it an American’s virtual home? How the justices answer that question could determine the outcome of the cases being argued Tuesday, April 29, 2014. A drug dealer and a gang member want the court to rule that the searches of their cellphones after their arrest violated their right to privacy in the digital age. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)

FILE - In this May 30, 2012, file photo, former U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens speaks at a lecture presented by the Clinton School of Public Service in Little Rock, Ark. In the aftermath of the Connecticut school shootings that left 20 first-graders and six educators dead, retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens began thinking about ways to prevent a repeat. The result is Stevens' new book, his second since retiring from the court at age 90, in which he calls for no fewer than six changes to the Constitution, of which two are directly related to guns.

This image from a video released by the U.S. Supreme Court from a dashboard camera video shows West Memphis, Ark., police officers firing shots at a car driven by Donald Rickard on July 17, 2004. Rickard led police across the Mississippi River into Memphis, Tenn., on a high-speed chase. Rickard and passenger Kelly Allen were shot to death by officers. The Supreme Court is considering an appeal from the officers who say they did nothing wrong and should not be held financially liable for the deaths. Supreme Court justices on March 4, 2014, seemed poised to rule for police officers involved in a high-speed chase that ended with the deaths of the fleeing driver and his passenger. The video was not shown in court, but justices had seen it as part of filings with the court. (AP Photo/U.S. Supreme Court)
