<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 26761691, member: 41780&quot;]Admittedly, I have yet to read the memo at the top of the thread - I will have to analyze it. But I was able to dig up - this is for future reference - the Supreme Court cases <i>Perry v. United States (1935)* </i>and <i>Norman v. Baltimore &amp; Ohio R. Co. (1935)**, </i>which appear to have affirmed the right of the federal government to confiscate gold through EO 6102.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, the Supreme Court has already affirmed that gold confiscation (as practiced under EO 6102) is lawful. This, to me, is quite insane. By the way, this is potentially legally binding and applicable to future cases. The memo posted at the top of this thread is not binding at all, though it&#039;s believed it may shed light on any future confiscation. I think this is a charitable view of that memo, but again I will have to review it thoroughly as well as the above-mentioned Supreme Court cases.</p><p><br /></p><p>* <a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/294/330/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/294/330/" rel="nofollow">https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/294/330/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>** <a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/294/240/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/294/240/" rel="nofollow">https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/294/240/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
