TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 2002 The Supreme Court on Monday heard oral arguments in a case testing the limits of property rights. Private landowners on the shores of Lake Tahoe, which straddles the Nevada-California border, have been prevented from development in order to protect the lake. While only a temporary moratorium, the landowners insist they should be compensated for not being allowed to use their property. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2000 ruled against the landowners. A number of property rights groups who have fought tribes on treaty rights, jurisdiction, environmental and other sovereignty issues filed briefs to support the landowners. The Department of Justice argued against the landowners. Get the Story:
