It's been an interesting journey. No matter what your opinions are I think it's an interesting case.

Bob Nersesian's case was also argued before the Supreme Court recently:

Bob didn't argue it himself; he got a Supreme Court "pro" to do it.

Of course, the issue doesn't turn on the facts of the case (seizure of gamblers' money), but on a procedural issue of whether Nevada residents can sue a police officer in Georgia.

The money was being hand carried to Nevada and I see no difference than if it were being shipped but detained in a foreign state. Otherwise such offenses would be incapable of judicial review since they could be repeated with impunity and no jurisdiction but an inconvenient one would ever be available.

The case before the Supreme Court is a result of issues brought up that started with the little 84 slot casino. The Supreme Court is deciding whether the State can sue the Tribe. It has nothing to do with the merits of the case.
