| #7 "Rumors are flying about that one of the libs on the court will be retiring this summer..." From your keyboard to God's ears. Rumors I've seen are all about Kennedy. If it's RBG or Breyer this could be a summer of summers. |

| #4 Strict constitutionalism requires that the SCOTUS hear appeals only an on those merits. Count on someone using this precedent to have SCOTUS scotch civil forfeiture. Rumors are flying about that one of the libs on the court will be retiring this summer... |

| #2 Of course, with civil asset forfeiture, the cops don'tevenneed to file charges in order to take and keep) assets. |

| #1 Ginsburg writes. "To get their money back, defendants should not be saddled with any proof burden. Instead...they are entitled to be presumed innocent." Hat tip to Ginsburg. |
