"We are not aware of a single decision by this Court that could support the conclusion that a person who owns property that was taken by the government lacks standing to bring a Takings claim, or is somehow otherwise precluded from bringing such a claim. It should make no difference that the property owned is the right to receive future dividends as a shareholder in a company. When that property has been taken in its entirety for the benefit of the government, the shareholder must have a right to bring a claim under the Takings Clause. Holding otherwise is a drastic abdication of the extent to which the Takings Clause protects the property rights owned by shareholders. Such a significant decision should not be made without review by this Court."
Justice Gorsuch on the importance of the federal judiciary enforcing our Bill of Rights in America:
"North Korea has an excellent Bill of Rights," he offers.
"They promise all the rights we have, and a bunch more. Right to free medical care, right to free education, and my favorite, a right to relaxation."
"Now, ask political prisoners how is that working out?" he queries.
For Gorsuch, those promises "aren't worth the paper they're written on" because there aren't structures to keep the power "from flowing into one set of hands."
