Federal Government Loses Big in Supreme Court Property Rights Case
7th December 2012
The federal government suffered a major defeat today at the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Arkansas Game & Fish Commission v. United States. In their unanimous decision, the justices rejected the government’s sweeping claim that a series of recurring floods induced by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers did not qualify as a taking of property under the Fifth Amendment because the flooding was only temporary in duration.
At last.

Now if we can just get them to reverse the New Haven Eminent Domain ruling, we might be getting somewhere.

Good luck with that. But we can hope.
