Third-party doctrine is not actual law, and challenges only exist as 4th Amendment cases on specific uses (i.e. not the doctrine as a whole). While Sotomayor is right to raise the issue, sadly her words don't constitute action on the topic.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor is right to challenge it. I fear that she is one of a narrow generation that is young enough to understand digital technology, and old enough to remember the right to privacy in personal effects.
