Well, the government will just have to ignore this one. Taking property is one of their favorites.

If it’s the IRS, no need to even prove the property was used in a crime. They just take it.

“Civil forfeiture is a popular way to raise revenue, and its use has been the subject of widespread criticism across the political spectrum.”
Widespread criticism by the same political scum who created it.

Forfeiture has gotten out of control.
It’s theft.

And if it’s the EPA no need to take it, just tell the owners what they can and cannot do with it and what improvements they must make on their dime.

That’s usually true of any government entity. It goes back to the days when they put people in jail because they needed road gangs.
When they built the Virginia Creeper railroad, they brought in black chain gangs. We don’t even have black people here in the hills. They buried them along the tracks where they fell dead.

Who didn’t vote is more interesting to me.
Did RBG’s staff write the opinion for her, giving the impression she was there? But she actually wasn’t, and therefore didn’t vote?
Or, was she there and one of theater justices absent from the bench?

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing for eight justices, said the question was an easy one.
...
So easy that her clerks could write the opinion.

All of the justices voted. The majority opinion was 8-0. Justice Thomas wrote a concurring opinion.

Does this nullify the Clintonista law where if the cops find you in possession of $10K or more they can claim it’s drug money and they keep it until you can prove otherwise?
