Short Circuit: An inexhaustive weekly compendium of rulings from the federal courts of appeal

Please enjoy the latest edition of Short Circuit, a weekly feature written by a bunch of people at the Institute for Justice.

Victory! Five years ago, a SWAT team blew up Vicki Baker's house in an attempt to apprehend a fugitive. But, sad news, last year SCOTUS declined to take up the question of whether destroying an innocent person's house is a Fifth Amendment taking requiring just compensation. (Two justices called for more percolation below.) But now! Thrilling news! This week, a federal court reentered judgment in Vicki's favor under the Texas Constitution. Click here to learn more.

New on the Short Circuit podcast: Scott Lincicome of Cato breaks down what's up at the Court of International Trade and IJ's Jeff Rowes breaks down the Texas attorney general.
