13:27Now PlayingA city in Pennsylvania passed an ordinance that required all graveyards to be open to the public. But Pennsylvania has long allowed burial on family property. So the public can visit my deceased ancestors now?
This is the issue that got to the US Supreme Court, and with it, challenged a precedent. Under the old law, a person had to go to state court first, but then the federal court was bound by that decision, so there was no federal court remedy at all.
The court is asked to revisit that decision. Is taking of land a civil rights violation for which a person can go to federal court? Or is it something which only the state (which incidentally is the very entity trying to take your land ...) can hear and decide?
Will the prior law be added to the graveyard? Today we discuss this, in Knick v. US.
