It looks like at least one person in our judicial system remembers that they serve the people, not the government.
Ruling in favor of North Carolina convenience store owner Lyndon McLellan, US District Judge James Fox said that the government is to cover the full cost of the legal fees and expenses he accrued defending himself in court. The amount to be paid is estimated to come in at over $20,000.
McLellan’s legal problems arose in May of 2014 when the IRS raided his bank account and seized $107,700 from it. Shortly after taking McLellan’s money however, the government ceased all action against McLellan on account of Justice Department policy changes and returned the money to him.
During the period the IRS was holding his money, McLellan prepared to sue the government only to find himself saddled with a considerable bill after his case was suddenly dropped. Feeling that he shouldn’t have to pay for the government’s mistake, he filed suit.

Yeah, that was right here in Robeson County. Glad he’s getting at least some justice.
Plus triple damages. Civil forfeiture is blatantly unconstitutional. Only a jury can take more than $20 from you.

America there’s a lot of concern where we are heading with our 2016 election – here’s the picture we are creating –
Democrats – we are fixing to nominate a crook that should behind bars in a prison – where she should be eaten up with her conscious –
Republicans – hopefully we the people wake up before it’s too late – if we fail Donald Trump – then we will be enabling the GOP to force a nominee through corruption – as they will not go with the majority of the votes candidate – so in essence we are electing a crook for the POTUS – how do we explain our ignorance to our future generations – how do we explain the imbalance in our liberal Supreme Court – we can’t afford to continue down this road – we have young families struggling to pay up to $10 or more a day for their children’s school lunches when illegals sit opposite the table and eat free lunches. What’s really sad is what about American kid that’s ashamed to sit down at the lunch table because he hasn’t any money to get a lunch. No legal American child chooses to go hungry either. Do you see any illegal immigrants being required to serve jury-duty while hard working working class loses income from serving and held in contempt of court if they choose not to do so. We the people need to wake up before it is too late and vote for the FUTURE of OUR people not the politicians people.
Finally a little justice
