I think the headline was supposed to read "Texas rancher wins big against TxDOT in Supreme Court case"
😆 Too true!
Getting ready to make same comment.
Fox 26 hires kindergarten dropouts to write their headlines.
Nobody ever claimed Fox 26 Houston was competent.
Exactly!
'Sovereign' is not a word that should ever be used in a place 'by the people, for the people'
What some folks may not know is that a city, county, state, or country has to ALLOW the claimant to sue them. However, Fed trumps State, State Trumps County....so forth and so on. In this instance, the state caused civil damages that were protected by the FED.
There is actually a case very similar to this with one rancher flooding another ranchers property. Went to the FED court and the Floodor lost the case against the Floodee because the event was not an act of God, but a man made event.
@@henryross4343 i'm not a lawyer but I believe you may have glossed over a bit there. I think the US and the several states would only be forced to allow you to sue them in certain situations. I also think the pecking order is affected by the division of power between the US and the states first. Then the fed precedence would take effect. The state would determine the pecking order within the state. My state is a strict Dillon rule state (me state, you county, obey), but other states, I believe Colorado is one, share power in their constitution with their municipalities.
I'm happy the rancher won, and the Supremes walloped Texas over "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
Exactly!
@@ShenandoahTim Splitting hairs Shen...yes you are correct and yes, I did gloss over the details.
Thanks for the additional detail
The you obviously don't understand the words meaning " a group or body of persons or a state having sovereign authority ", it has legal meaning more akin to the person/people incharge of an area
This was an obvious case.
The judges who ruled against him should be disbarred.
No the judges should not be disbarred. This is a battle between two valid laws. "soverign immunity" and the 5th Amendment order that the state cannot take private land without just compensation. The plaintiff farmers merely sought the wrong remedy. They sued the State of Texas for negligence for not providing protection for the land by installing drainage when the I-10 highway was built. Texas answered that they have 'soverign immunity" which they do. What they should have done was to declare that the flooding of their land by the building of the highway was a government taking without just compensation as ordered by the Constitution. Soverign Immunity does not apply in that situation. But unless repealed (good luck) soverign immunity will protect the government as a defense with some exceptions.
Good news, they will just use his own tax payer dollars to settle 😂😂😂
@@TheGreatestShowman69 Yes. They used the tax payers' money to build the highway. Now they need to use the taxpayers money to complete the highway with proper drainage, or buy the land at a just price.
And jailed
@tomgreene7942 there's no just price for family land.
Great news, we must support Family Farms.
It’s not about family farms, it’s about safeguarding or rights. Huge win for the people!
@@frogmantoad8110get ready for higher taxes.
The state will not lose.
"Family Farms" isn't a business and is simply a noun. Texas public education failing the state once again.
It’s about time, landowners especially farmland owners have rights. The state can’t take that away from us.
Sovereign Immunity for the state
Qualified Immunity for cops
Judicial Immunity for judges
Prosecutorial Immunity for district attorneys
...What the hell is it going to take for the IDIOTS of this country to wake up and realize we have lost our freedoms and we now work for Government ?
They can, but they must pay for it. Right in the Constitution.
Tax’s in this admin say diff.☠️✊🏾🇺🇸
PRIVATE Landowners HAVE RIGHTS! Indeed! Private everything! Land owners hold power not political officials. Have since the founding of this nation and will!
All land owners have rights not just the farmers
I’m a Texas farmer and this is a wonderful win but it wasn’t just a win for farmers, it’s a big win for all Texas property owners.
Government- You can't sue us.
Citizen- Hide and watch. 😅🤣
Is SCOTUS saying that citizens are also sovereigns? If so, then one sovereign really can deal with another on an equal basis. 👍👍
@edb3877 That should not even be a question. The truth that the people are sovereign was decided by the war of independence against Great Britain, validating our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.
Insane for them to think they can’t be sued
@daniella8400
Right?
They cannot understand the Bill of Rights.
@@josephnebeker7976 We have rights...but we ARE NOT sovereign. Do you know what the word means?
Kudos to the Institute for Justice for taking up and winning this case! Big win for anyone who owns land especially for our farmers and ranchers.
So I want to know who the idiot judges are in the 5th Circuit Court that made such a stupid ruling in favor of the state.
Obama appointees
Perhaps they studied outlaw in Colorado.
@@fhuber7507 Of course. My question was mostly rhetorical. I'm sure the information is readily available.
@@fhuber7507 Don't be so willfully arrogant with your ignorance. There are 26 active judges on the 5th Circuit...only two of them were appointed by Obama. Of the 26 active judges, 7 were appointed by Democrats while 19 were appointed by Republicans.
The three judges on the Appeals bench for that case were Higginbotham, Southwick, and Higginson. Only one was an Obama appointee...the other two were appointed by Reagan and G.W. Bush. The original magistrate judge on the case was Judge Andrew Edison from Galveston... was appointed in 2018.
@ryant115 thanks for your brilliance, however, nobody likes a KNOW-IT-ALL, speaking of arrogance.
We need to protect our farmers, ranchers, their property at all cost. USA needs them to feed America. Great news!!
Congratulations 👍🏻 thank goodness what’s right will prevail.
I see this in Louisiana all the time. Cries from citizens go unheard from DOTD. Who are they working for again?
Great story with a happy ending! However, please adjust your video description... this isn't "against Supreme Court", it's "from the Supreme Court against TXDOT."
FINALLY JUSTICE FOR A MAN WHO FEEDS AMERICA! HOW CAN HE EVER BE WRONG? THREE CHEERS FOR TEXAS FARMERS!
The tax payers again will foot the bill for government incompetence.
Yep, cause the folks in it are also not responsible for their own incompetence. Bad system.
TX-DOT isn't accountable to anyone. The Texas system of commissions for infrastructural governance fails it again, and again, and again.
@@chuckschillingvideos It needs to come out of their budget AND the salaries of the top three people and the governor for improperly overseeing them.
No state, no state intity should be ammune, including the politicians, from law suits, not frivolous ones of course.
Especially the politicians!
Who do we get to decide which are frivolous?
@@tractorsold1 that's a good question.... Maybe the judges... I'm not sure will have to contemplate that some...
@@rondameier8168 I think that's what we have now. But remember, judges are only human and they know the government pays their salary.
@@rondameier8168
It isn’t a matter of being frivolous or not.
Texas can set whatever rules it wants on limiting lawsuits.
This issue was not about how good the farmers’ case it. Texas could still go to court and prove the farmers wrong.
The issue is the Fifth Amendment which is the eminent domain amendment. A government cannot take your property or use of your property away without compensation. A government absolutely has the right to take your land. The Fifth Amendment however, demands compensation.
In this case, the farmers say that Texas took away the use and enjoyment from their land. Texas said that you can’t sue us because we set the rules in our state. Texas is correct…. except for that little ol’ amendment that also guarantees the right to remain silent.
So a unanimous Supreme Court said that the Fifth Amendment does apply to Texas and the farmers get their day in court. The Supreme Court made no decision how good the case is, only that the Fifth Amendment definitely applies to cases like this.
In other areas, Texas can do as it wishes under the Tenth Amendment. Frivolous? Limits? Which courts? And so on are all within Texas jurisdiction.
None of that overcomes eminent domain under the Fifth Amendment.
It’s not just the state, it’s also cities, counties and subdivisions that build levees, roads and high earth structures to divert water away from their projects but ends up flooding their other localities or neighborhoods
Congratulation on the win!!!!...(About d@mn time) A lot of these city, towns and counties do not take ownership In the damage that they do to everyday citizens.
Well said
i loved that he said "The glory goes to God" ❤ Amen!
God bless farmers ranchers business wild mustangs
No one is above the law including states
Thank God!
Its great to hear the rancher win.
Can someone fix that title tho? Against the supreme Court?
And description * every Texas?
I had the same thought.
This is FOX - what do you expect ? 🦊
TxDOT effectively seized his land ( and the others) without compensation which has been shown in other cases to be illegal.
I'm in winnie also and TXDUMS made a levy out of hwy 73 East, I flooded for Harvey 8in and Imelda 11.5 inches in my house because they basically turned my neighborhood into a bowl. there are 0 drains that go under the hwy from Chambers/Jefferson county line east to past Englin rd.
Hallelujah, justice continues to March forward in Texas. Congratulations to all the ranchers who are fighting for their own pice of a free America while we’ve still free.
Good for you ! You did not
give up and it paid off! You also helped other farmers with your effort! Stand your ground.
That's why I love Texas, their people still have a say....
Did you hear that the first circuit and the state told him he was denied the ability to file a claim ?
@@nm3547Your statement is moot and the original comment still stands true.
Silence is golden.
Your headline seems incorrect!!
Save our farm land.
Tell all the farmers to stop selling it.
DO NOT SETTLE. DO. NOT. SETTLE.
Good job sir. Thank you for standing up for us all.
The supreme court need to rule on chevron and take power away from government agencies.
This. The government has been abusing that to such an absurd degree that it's well past time. But that should be coming soon with the Loper Bright ruling,
What's up with Chevron
@@Purplepinkmomnot chevron, the company. Chevron deference, the concept.
Yes. We should give all the power to corporations. You need an education
@@harrycrazy46 and you need an education if that is what you got from his comment.
Rancher against the Supreme Court ? Who wrote this title ?
Texas DOT?
someone with a degree in Journalism wrote it.
You don't have to pass English 101 to get a PHD in Journalism today. "Autocorrect will fix it. It'll be fine."
As someone with lots of family in Winnie, I'm happy to hear this.
Thank you, Texas! Your win is a win for all of us.
The Institute for Justice rocks!
LUV THIS!!!!
Let’s go!
Amen. Keep on keeping on America.
Thank you for fighting for all Texans, and thanks to the Institute For Justice for helping make Texas a better state!
Since states usually claim to own the water on land. They need to pay for water storage on the privately owned land.
😁
A victory for the people!
He’s a good man and comes from a humble family. Glad to hear this. 👌🏼
Good for the farmer for winning. Hope his farm is still prospering
This is Texas? A solid Red State that opposed compensation for a rancher? What has happened in the world!
States are good at collecting money from its citizens. They are not so good about giving that money back.
Love hearing outcomes like this. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
So glad for this farmer, bless you and your family.
I agree! Way to go Supreme Court of Texas!
Yes, Praise God, Thank you Jesus!
He should have a right to sue that's his livelihood and they took it away from him and expecting him to get nothing in return...
The truth will set you free.
I'm with the landowner, Glory to God for seeing His Justice spread upon people who adore Him.
Great job by the farmer and standing up for what's right ! You and the institute for justice have made a big impact for the people !
Government and its agents should not enjoy any immunity from legal remedies.
Awesome outcome!
To think you are above the law to a level that people are not allowed to sue you is flat out outrageous!
Without ,farmers and ranchers,most of us wouldn't be able to feed our families. We should do more for our farmers and ranchers not make things more difficult.
Thank you Sir Ritchie, these people should not be allowed to mess with other hard working Americans properties
Good news!
That is great to here that it is for the farmers. From a texan
Amen!
Well done!
AMEN GOD IS GOOD 🙏☝️
PTL LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL
Great to hear, congratulations.
I worked for a state agency CPS and I can tell you the people at the top let the power go to their heads it’s great to see the court make the right decisions.
Good for them!!!
Congratulations on the win . Happy to see good working people taking a stand for our rights in the correct manner. Prayer for you and the other that need help recovering 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Good! They need to take care of these guys.
That there is great news go sir!!! America First SUE!
So sick of unaccountable government at EVERY level.
It made my day to hear this
Hope these farmers get compensated for this!! Our farmers are the “backbone” of this country. They work so hard!!
This is awesome news!
Like he said.. Glory goes to God! 🙌
Blah blah blah.
TxDOT has hid behind this claim so many times it is unbelievable! Kudos to these land owners!
Great news!!!
Credit must be given go the Institute for Justice. IJ's youtube channel is worth watching for helping the little guys.
I remember hearing about the flooding I’m glad he’s finally getting justice
Maybe it is possible for our judicial system to make logical decisions.
Good work
This is so wonderful. Finally a judge who has a heart and knows the law. God bless you judge.
Good it's about time!! Good on ya texas!
Finally some actual news
We need more Justice for our farmers!!!! Buck jb and the democrat's!!!! Follow the Constitution it has been great for America!!!!❤
This was a clear violation of the "takings" clause from the very beginning. SCOTUS did the right thing!!
Every entity who told him he couldn’t…should be disbanded . It is ridiculous for this state to say it can not be sued. 🙄
I am a small land/lot owner in Texas and we have property rights! 🥰 Good for him!
Thank Goodness!!
What if, instead of praising something that wasn't involved, we start thanking our lawyers for lawyering, and our judges for adjudicating? Imagine how wild that would be?
Awesome, praise God. Keep fighting mr rancher. God is on your side.
Everyone please make a donation to the Institute for Justice so they can continue to makes things right for fellow Americans
They must be sweating bullets realizing the damages they also caused by the 99 Grand Parkway.
Right on!
Amen. Glory to God! God bless the Farmers.
You go !!!!
Yay!! Keep pushing till you get it
It's pretty damn scummy IMO to force them all the way to the SCOTUS then do an about face and moot the case. I hope they sue for all the lawyers fees, court costs and lost time and productivity their BS caused.
Glory goes to SCOTUS.
This is a throughly red state. So much personal freedom!!
