    | This analysis is disturbing, in that it claims that the SCOTUS has upheld a priori confiscation of property and suspension of rights without adversarial hearings. 
 But one thing jumped out at me, and this is a critical point:
 
 "...they do not involve any criminal charges or punishments."
 
 Technically, RF is a civil, not criminal procedure, HOWEVER, the 'punishment' imposed by an ex parte confiscation order imposes a penalty indistinguishable from that imposed by a criminal conviction, without 6th Amendment due process.
 
 'Temporary' or not, it is the removal of a constitutional right and property, de facto.
 
 And that dog don't hunt.
 
 Not by my lights, anyway.
