Nick Anderson, “Thanks to the Supreme Court...”

Nick Anderson, whose Pulitzer Prize–winning work is syndicated in over one hundred newspapers, currently draws cartoons for the Houston Chronicle, where this cartoon appeared in June 2014, shortly after the Supreme Court decision that limited cell phones from being searched without a warrant. You’ll be reading an excerpt from this decision later in this chapter. Why might the cap worn by the speaker holding the cell phone be relevant? (Recall that Anderson lives in Texas.) How is it used to characterize the speaker?
