Let’s say that a woman owes approximately $15,000 to the government for back taxes and penalties. So, the government seizes her home to pay for that and sells that home for approximately $40,000. Approximately, how much does the government owe the original homeowner?
If you said ‘nothing,’ 1 you would apparently be the state of Minnesota 2.
But, crucially, you would not be any member of the Supreme Court 3.
1 The facts of the case, apparently, are just that simple. Somehow it did not occur to the State of Minnesota (or the relevant county) to read the 5th Amendment, specifically the Takings Clause.
2 Hopefully, MM i either spitting mad over this or futilely lecturing DU's maddened crowd about how right this decision is.
3 The MSM are portraying this and yesterday's similarly unanimous decision as the product of a "conservative court". I wonder what syllable of
unanimous MSM folk don't understand. When a USSC decision is 9-0 or 8-1, that means the ruling is so grossly obviously right that the case really should not have had to be brought before the court. Whatever led to the plaintiff being 5-10 years behind on her property taxes, being that far behind did not justify her being ripped off for ~$25K.
