This is good news. I'm not one for touting rediculous sums for court decisions but in this case i hope the government pays HUGE sums so that it becomes too expensive to steal private property. In addition, I hope the court finds anyone joining the government in this case to PAY JUST AS MUCH.

Even this apparent victory could turn out Pyrrhic if the federal government is allowed to pay out of general funds. Then the taxpayers are the ones who have been hit. The BLM should be made to pay any judgement and prohibited from recouping it in any way or having this cost play into any future Bureau budgets. If done in this way, it would actually cut into the resources they have with which to trample on honest citizens (the ones with jobs), rather than the bad guys get a pass and the taxpayers take it up the tailpipe like usual.
