Third cert grant in an IJ case for OT26! Gonna be a good year for liberty!

In 2012, Ken Jouppi was charged with a misdemeanor after a passenger on his plane was caught with a 6-pack of beer, en route to a dry county. Since then, the state has been trying to forfeit Ken's plane. Today, the #SupremeCourt agreed to hear his case. 🧵

Very gratified to see the Supreme Court take this important case about how courts should consider whether a fine is excessive. We at @CatoInstitute filed an amicus brief supporting Jouppi's petition to the Supreme Court. cato.org/legal-briefs/j…

As government agencies increasingly exploit fines and forfeitures to pad their budgets, it’s vital that the Supreme Court make clear that the Excessive Fines Clause is a meaningful check on government overreach. We’re confident that it will do so here. Learn more about this important #SCOTUS case here: ij.org/case/alaska-ex…
