A big win for property rights in the USA.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in favor of a 94-year-old woman over her claim that a Minnesota county violated the Constitution by keeping a $25,000 profit when it sold her home in a tax foreclosure sale.
The court concluded unanimously that Geraldine Tyler can pursue her argument that Hennepin County's decision to keep the surplus violated the takings clause of the Constitution’s Fifth Amendment, which requires that the government pay compensation when property is taken.
Tyler’s home in Hennepin County, which includes the city of Minneapolis, was seized because she owed $15,000 in taxes and fees. But the county sold the home for $40,000 and kept all the proceeds.

Insane this had to get to the supreme court. Seems like common sense

Good. This should be something that people all along the political spectrum can agree with. Theft under the cover of law is still theft.

It’s SCOTUS not USSC

Soulless psychopaths. Holy shite.

I pray this applies to all types of gooooooooooooooooberment seizures. Nonsense when people have spend a lot of money to prove their money is legally acquired.

So the house was sold for $40,000, how much was it actually worth? Tax sales on real property tend to be really shady. This may have been a $175,000 house sold for $40,000 in order to pay a $15,000 bill.

How does this work for the See Eye Aye and their drug and other black ops where they have a merchant operation? Isn't that how they have additional non-appropriated funding?

Will it impact civil forfeiture theft

Geraldine is far from the only victim. The stories are nauseating.
At 76 years old, Bennie Coleman lost his DC home over a $134 bill. The gov't sold the $197,000 house & kept the profit.
For months, Bennie slept on the porch—with dementia—thinking he'd locked himself out.

Then there's Tawanda Hall, who fell $900 behind on a property-tax payment plan for her Michigan home. After penalties, she owed $22,642.
The gov't seized her $300,000 house, sold it, and kept the profit.
The surplus totaled $286,000. This is not a joke.

9-0 I believe
Thankfully trump brought in constitutional judges.
Full right wing conservatives would of found for government and stealing from normal joes.
Constitutional judges follow laws not agendas

ARREST THEM FOR THEFT!

My question is how does this apply to drug seizures. Our county gets a decent amount of money from selling cars/boats used in smuggling drugs like Fentanyl into the USA.

Two unanimous decisions handed down Friday. Shows how bad the federal judiciary has gotten.

So many problems with this.
Is she now going to get the profit they made?
Why was she in so much debt? Are we so degraded as a society that a local community can't acquire 15k for a woman in her mid 90s?
Why can't a local govt do a reverse mortgage type of deal - she signs over the house, they waive her debts, she gets to stay in the house, when she passes, the house belongs to the govt, they sell it, taxes paid off plus some profit - is that not possible?
