Petition of the day

Issues:(1) Whether a police officer who remains outside a suspects home violates the Fourth Amendment by arresting the suspect by show of authority without a warrant when the suspect is at the front door but has not stepped outside; and (2) whether New Yorks persistent felony offender statute, which requires judicial fact-finding on the question whether an enhanced sentence will best serve the public interest, violates the Sixth Amendments jury-trial guarantee.
