I wholeheartedly support the ruling. But while the change protects many innocent people who were being plundered unfairly by the state, I suspect that much lobbying and/or donations funding the legal challenges were made indirectly by cartels who will be substantially enriched and increasingly empowered by this ruling.
In addition to their sales of drugs cartels are often implicated in additional criminal activities, and it would take no great stretch of the imagination to see a future where they become the new plunderer of the property of innocents.
