No Supreme Court justices have ruled on this. There have been two federal judges to issue a ruling so far, and if you'll recall the last ruling was the exact opposite. This debate is very much not decided. Regardless of the 4th amendme

E-mail isn't something that just happens automatically on your phone, you have to set it up, and thus you know it's there and are making a conscious decision that the privacy risks outweigh the value of the service.
