John Sophocleus Details His Fight Against the Alabama DOT & Their Use of Eminent Domain

When visiting the good folks at the Mises Institute we learned about John Sophocleus, a professor who’s property the Alabama Department of Transportation has been attempting to seize for over a decade. In a story similar to that of Jimmy McCall in nearby Montgomery, in this video John details the experience, including his picking up his rifle as a earth moving machine approached his house and his subsequent courtroom battles, which made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. John is a true freedom fighter in ever sense of the word and it’s certain that his actions will help motivate others to stand up for their rights against government oppression.
