As you know I published a rant about a week ago that said that people should be using the taking clause of the Fifth Amendment to challenge the unconstitutional actions of governors all over the country because it would put monetary skin into the fight.

As an aside, 40 years ago I knew as much as pretty much anyone on the subject having published both as an editor of the law review and then as a law school faculty member on the subject. I haven’t followed it closely since but am aware that probably back in the Regan and Scalia days, the Supremes struck a blow for property rights in a case involving California or Oregon.

Now the reason for this rant is that one of the loyal followers of my nonsense (TC) gave me a heads up about a story that Justice Alito has required Pennsylvania to respond to a lawsuit alleging amongst other things that their property had been taken without just compensation in violation of the Fifth Amendment. You can go to the Fox News app and last I checked it was the second article. As an interesting aside, Danny (Taxi/ the Penguin) Devito is one of the plaintiffs.

I was so happy to see this because I couldn’t believe that no one had used the one argument that could put the petty tyrants at financial risk. I thought that maybe I was crazy because no one appeared to have used it. Now I’m happy. My supposition has made it to the Supreme Court!

Now to continue on this subject and our spineless governor, as you know I put up a link to an article where Mike Adams called out Roy Cooper who he had previously kicked to the curb and Cooper folded like a cheap suit. Today I saw that the owner of a tattoo parlor opened his shop and was arrested. People that is the definition of bullying. When he knows he is facing someone who doesn’t have the resources to challenge him, he pounds on his chest and acts like the ultimate bully.

I am pleading for someone out there, be you a law professor or an ambulance chaser, to take on this proprietor on a contingency basis and sue the hell out of this spineless bully.
