Continuing with our posting of the amicus briefs in Murr v. Wisconsin, No. 15-214, the “parcel as a whole” case now being considered by the Supreme Court, here is the brief filed in support of the property owner by several western states, principally authored by lawprof Ilya Somin.
Rather than summarize the brief here, we point you instead to Prof Somin’s post at the Volokh blog, “Our amicus brief on behalf of nine states in an important Takings Clause property rights case.”
More briefs coming.
