This Is a Free Republic? (Not!)

Here is a story that is a few days old, but which I just discovered (and which REALLY ticks me off.) The US Mint SEIZED an elderly woman's coins (which she had inherited from her father), saying that the coins had been illegally removed from the Philadelphia Mint some 70 years earlier.

No court order, no court action -- just SEIZED the woman's the coins (which are valued in the millions of dollars) after turned them in to find out if they were authentic or not. (They were authentic, all right!)

Bill of Rights? What Bill of Rights?

(Hat tip: Hugh Hewitt.)
