Boom! There goes asset forfeiture.

I’s a good day today.

[JimRed]

Good. Now how about the “Shall not be infringed” phrase in the second amendment?

[keving]

It’s not the Benjamins it about the Wall

[fwdude]

I wonder if the Eighth Amendment applies to $135,000 fines imposed on bakers who offended a fag.

[centurion316]

In this case, the plaintiff was actually tried and found guilty of the offense. Many of these forfeitures occur without a trial and often without even an arrest. The inference is that those actions are out of the question going forward. But, in this crazy justice land that we live in these days, it may require another case to put an end to that questionable actions.

9-0...........Boy, that was a close one!.................

[sparklite2]

Remember the oral arguments in this case? Sure you do.

That’s too funny. Most people aren’t USSC geeks.

[SuperLuminal]

Fine!

Now let's get rid of RICO... Clearly the most vile theft ring in the Nation...

[an amused spectator]

Ginsburg wrote the opinion of the Court. Yes, conspiracy theorists, she’s alive.

Uh, no.

Corpseburg's law clerks wrote the opinion for Supreme Court seat #6. They also voted seat #6 for the dead gal.

And they give the easy one to Ruth “Fuzzy Buzzy” Ginsberg. Or a clerk of hers. Put her in hospice and send the clerks home. Justice Thomas did a nice take on that!

[Intolerant in NJ]

Not only did Roberts hand it off, he handed it to the Court’s senior liberal...the Court is desperate to prove to the public that this woman is still capable of performing her duties - else loss of public confidence - as though that hasn't happened already.....

Here's the entire Opinion and concurrences (PDF)

I agree with the writer. The oral arguments on this were fairly telling. One of the justices (can't remember who) got the attorney for Indiana to admit that it would be OK with him if the state confiscated a Bugatti from someone merely for driving 5 miles over the speed limit. Even just reading the transcript, you could pretty much tell the justice was floored by this admission.

[CJ Wolf]

Damn! That’s a big one.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Excessive Fines?

[Michael.SF.]

Feels like a sign of respect that Roberts trusted RBG with it.

Feels more like a swan song to me.

You all wanna see something pertaining to this?
Read this one. I was on the land after he completed a couple of the ponds. Moose were there, geese and ducks on the water and then the GD scum SOBs from under the bridge got their dander up. A good few DNR boys went into hiding around there for a while..for their safety.

Ah yes. The determination of what rights are Fundamental is a creation of Scotus itself. It has little to do with our history and everything with ensconcing social justice in the wrap of constitutionality.

Among scotus-determined fundamental rights are the franchise, abortion, fag marriage, and now this decision.

It is all nonsense because Scotus does not regard the right to life itself as fundamental.
