BAS, LLC, et al. v. Tommy Land
California brothers challenge Arkansas’ claim that states can take private property without paying

Under decades of legal precedent, the government’s constitutional obligations to citizens qualify as “waivers” of sovereign immunity, meaning citizens do not have to wait for the government to give them permission to sue over a violation of their constitutional rights. These “waivers” include the government's obligation to pay you when they take your property.
