The Buckeye Institute Urges U.S. Supreme Court to Stop Home Equity Theft
The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in Tyler v. Hennepin County, urging the court to protect people against governmental equity theft through property seizures. “In drafting the U.S. Constitution, our Founding Fathers embraced a principle that goes back more than 800 years to the Magna Carta, which enshrined into law the concept that the government can take property only when it provides ‘just compensation’ to the owner.”
