🚨 20 Years Later... Still Paying [full argument]? Ellingburg v. US & SCOTUS Restitution Riddle!

Описание: Listen to to full oral argument (Oct 14, 2025) of compelling Supreme Court case, Ellingburg v. United States, where the very definition of criminal restitution is on trial! ⚖️ Holsey Ellingburg Jr. was ordered to pay restitution back in 1996, but decades later, he's arguing that the government is unlawfully extending his payment period.

This case explores critical legal questions: Can a new law (the MVRA) retroactively extend a restitution term set under an older law (the VWPA)? Is criminal restitution truly "penal" for the purposes of the Ex Post Facto Clause of the Constitution? The stakes are high, impacting thousands who face long-term financial obligations after criminal convictions.
