Of course with two possible imminent replacements on the SCOTUS now, this is liable to be quickly overturned if someone (with legal funding) does end up getting their property siezed in such a manner.
O'Conner was VERY much against this ruling and wrote a scathing disenting opinion.

At best her replacement will do the same.
