Why was this felonious practice not stopped by the courts on day one??? Confiscation of private property without being charged with a crime? Sounds more like a practice in a communist country that has no place in the U.S.
Because we now live in a banana republic!

The fact that the SCOTUS allows this nonsense is the sad part, tis is a clear violation of the Due Process clause, both procedurally and substanatively….

Yes, that’s hopefully the whole point of the legislation dumbasses! Here’s an idea – try the moderately challenging job of getting a conviction before you punish someone for criminal behavior. It’s pathetic and outrageous that a lobbying group for government lawyers can’t understand the fundamental injustice of punishing innocent people by stealing their stuff and then personally benefitting from said injustice.

In a sane world these prosecutors would be tarred and feathered before being disbarred and deported to a place with the sort of totalitarian legal system they prefer.
