Short Circuit 179 | Taking Bees with the Police Power
Podcast (short-circuit): Play in new window | Download
Something that is not the bee’s knees is when the county mosquito sprayers forget to tell you to cover up your bees so they don’t get murdered. When the bee farmers sue, is that killing a taking under the Fifth Amendment? Jeff Redfern comes on to explain how the Fourth Circuit said no, but along the way made it easier for property owners to bring takings claims in other cases. And can federal employees go to court so they can feel free to Tweet #Resistance? Not any more, and perhaps not ever, as Adam Shelton tells us of another Fourth Circuit opinion.
