94-year-old grandmother gets big win at Supreme Court

I hope this will be a step toward curtailing the rapacious civil forfeiture laws.

Regards,
Russ

But did the liberal judges decide based on law, or because she is a poor black woman?

Either way, I'll take the win.
A 9 - 0 decision should hold some weight in similar cases.
Disgusting that it had to go that high to get the right decision.

Marxists and "European-model" jurists especially sometimes allow their "judicial philosophy" to flex toward their own ideologies. I like to think conservative justices are more aligned with Federalist Papers-guided precedents.

For instance, Roberts did a Swedish-style act of slackivism in affirming Obamacare despite an obvious Constitutional conflict in declaring the non-participation penalty not to be a tax (requiring Congressional approval) when it obviously was. 

Originalist is the way to go, in line with the classical republican dogma.

Hope this is the beginning of a trend to reign in overreach.
