Question presented

I Does the holding of Franks v. Delaware, 438 U.S. 154, 98 S.Ct. 2674, 57 L.Ed.2d 667 (1978) forbid misleading by omission as well as misleading by commission? II Does the holding of Schmerber v. California, 384 U.S. 757, 86 S.Ct. 1826, 16 L.Ed.2d 908 (1966) by requiring a showing that taking blood is reasonable to justify a blood seizure warrant, require more for a blood seizure warrant than probable cause?
