This has been a strong idea in the Supreme Court as well as the other branches of government. A major problem before the U.S. won its independence was that the British soldiers could ransack a home without any warrant. The U.S. wanted to stray away from this idea of searching without a warrant. However, many situations call for search without a warrant and so the major issue is what needs a warrant and what doesn't.

Yes, it is true that the US Supreme Court has consistently expressed a strong preference for the use of search warrants. This preference is based on the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. The Court has held that a warrant is generally required for searches and seizures, except for certain exceptions recognized by the Court.

What US president issued an arrest warrant for the US Supreme Court Chief Justice?
Abraham Lincoln in response to Chief Justice Taney's habeas corpus decision. Lincoln ignored the court's order and continued to have thousands of arrests made without the privilege of the writ. Taney continued to badger Lincoln to follow the Constitution so Lincoln issued a Presidential arrest warrant but couldn't decide who should make the arrest or where Taney should be imprisoned. Lincoln handed the warrant to his trusted friend U.S. Marshall for DC, Ward Hill Lamon, instructing him to use his own discretion. Lamon says he availed himself of that discretion and never served the warrant. See page 102 and 103 of "The Lawmen" which is a history of the U.S. Marshalls and their deputies from 1789 - 1989. That is one of several sources. Lincoln worshipers say the evidence is sparse that a warrant ever existed but U.S. marshal records, if those were the only evidence should be enough.Roger Brooke Taney was the fifth Chief Justice of the United States, holding that office from 1836 until his death in 1864 as he was nearing age 88. He was the first Roman Catholic to hold that office or sit on the Supreme Court of the United States.
