BLUF: The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Geraldine Tyler in Tyler v. Hennepin County, stating that keeping the extra $25,000 from the sale of her foreclosed property was unconstitutional. However, the author argues that the result may not have been just, as Tyler neglected her responsibility to pay property taxes for a significant period of time, and the forfeiture statute had been in effect since 1935. The court invoked the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause, but the author questions whether it applies to state governments under the Fourteenth Amendment.
