How's That Texas Small Government Working Out For You?

(More)

The Texas Supreme Court handed down an opinion today which really concerns practice and procedure in Summary Judgment proceedings but before you fall asleep: Read those facts. The State of Texas is trying to take a Lincoln Navigator and over $90,000 in cash because some dumb drug dog "alerted" on the money during a traffic stop. Puhleeeze.

And how in the world can the State justify detaining the guy in the first place to wait for the drug dog? Everyone loves the Second Amendment around here but no one cares about the Fourth.

Incredible.
