And even though there’s not a takings case on the Court’s current docket, we figured that the Maui Clean
Yesterday’s Supreme Court arguments in what is known as the “DACA case” would normally not be something we’d cover on this blog.

In this cert petition, New York property owners assert that the New York Court of Appeals (the state’s highest court for those of you who do not watch Law & Order (dun-dun)), took private
Here’s the other shoe that we’ve been waiting to drop.
