The Supreme Court on Monday ruled against a Wyoming rancher who sued government employees in a dispute over federal access to a road on his land. Harvey Robbins argued that there should be a constitutional avenue for private citizens to sue government employees for continued harassment. In a 7-2 ruling, the Court said that Robbins could not sue under the Fifth Amendment. The case is important to the government because it could have exposed individual federal workers to personal liability.
