They were met with answers supportive of the county's position, even from parties backing Tyler.
"Can it impose a penalty for failing to respond or for anything else that the property owner may do in connection with this proceeding?" continued Alito.But few justices appeared to endorse wholesale the concept of a municipality keeping everything from a property forfeiture above what was originally owed plus any added costs.
Interjected Roberts: "I don't think the framers were ignorant of the notion of eminent domain, but they still wanted to protect private property if you don't pay for it." "When the title is fully transferred to the government, her property interest is extinguished," said Katyal.
