While I applaud this SCOTUS decision as it is a start in returning to Constitutional protections, we can't neglect to consider that it comes with an unintended consequence. That consequence is that, without the value of the confiscated assets, governmental bodies will see a reduction in revenue. In some jurisdictions, that lost revenue will be significant. I've never heard of any governmental body liking or being able to adjust to loss of revenue without finding a new way to make up for that revenue. I see more tax increases as a result of this decision.
