#9 United States v. Causby

  • Summary

  • In this episode we re-argue the Supreme Court case United States v. Causby.

    A couple bought property, where they made their home and ran a chicken farm. Their property was less than half a mile away from an airfield, which the U.S. government began using. The family’s farm (and their nerves) were then destroyed by lots of large military aircraft flying less than 100 feet overhead day and night. They sued the government.

    The question before the court: was their property taken by the government without just compensation, in violation of the 5th Amendment?
