big government is like a bulldozer, ready to plow you out of their way...in my case, to stop my mining a sand and gravel mining claim, they typed out a phony cease and desist order (w/o any kind of court order), had an armed Ranger hand deliver it to me at the site, and then they threatened me with fines and jail in every correspondence. In a hearing, they introduced fabricated evidence and when caught their ALJ Judge (John Rampton) said NO, as I (yes I had a fool for a client too, but cheapest one I knew at the moment) asked for a dismissal. NOBODY tells them (Bureau of Land Management) what to do and they are above the law, who do you call on the government? The taking of this man's home is yet another example of this distorted Democracy big governmnt engages in. The IBLA, highest gov't court in DC, after an appeal, ruled the gov't DID NOT have a court order to destroy my operation. When I asked for damages they said "Take us to Federal District Court"....anyone got a few million ??? aint this freedom wonderful ? the link to my website explaining all this is below if anyone wants the details.

I suggest you go to the Paragon Foundation website. Paragon is fighting and winning some property rights/takings situations.

One thing they found out the hard way is that you will never win in federal circut court.

Go straight to the court of claims. Its a different game there.

If the govt condemns property they will try to pay the market price at best. The court of claims may award you compensation for "highest and best use".

Talk to Paragon.
