Final answer:

The language referring to protection against 'unreasonable governmental intrusion' in one's home would likely be used in a majority or concurring opinion to support a ruling that aligns with protecting individual privacy rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

The language from a previous case mentioning "the right of a man to retreat into his own home and there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion" would be pertinent to arguments in a majority or concurring opinion. The majority opinion is the official ruling of the court, representing the view of more than half of the judges participating. If this language supports the decision of the court, it would be cited in the majority opinion. A concurring opinion, while agreeing with the outcome reached by the majority, might cite this language to emphasize a particular point or to express a different rationale. This language is unlikely to be used in a dissenting opinion, as a dissent typically disagrees with the court's ruling.
