While the majority may be correct about the Constitution part, agencies now have more incentive to drag their feet, cause delays, drive up costs to get victims to give up.
Americans should not have to live under such fear and power.
This entire body of law is contrary to the constitution.
It’s a taking.
One of the many things congress can act on but won’t because they believe other things are more important.
Civil forfeture should be illegal.
You and me both, and it's scaring me...

Scanning through it quickly-it seems the six are relying on a speedy trial already being included.
Some of the stories involving this like the LA private vault one are horrendous.
Kavanaugh strikes again.
