Question Presented (from Petition)

The Eighth Circuit Court Of Appeals does not require that the conditions governing an anticipatory warrant be explicit, clear, and narrowly drawn. Does the Fourth Amendment of the U.S Constitution tolerate the mere placing of a package containing drugs on a person's property, then executing the warrant when any person takes possession of that package?

In this case 0% of the 57 petit jurors selected for duty were African-American. Does the law require petit jurors be selected from a fair cross section of the community?
