United States Supreme Court

395 U.S. 85

The NATIONAL BOARD OF YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS et al., Petitioners,  v.  UNITED STATES.

 Argued: March 3, 1969. --- Decided: May 19, 1969


Mr. Justice STEWART, concurring.

If United States military forces should use a building for their own purposes-as a defense bastion or command post, for example-it seems to me this would be a Fifth Amendment taking, even though the owner himself were not actually deprived of any personal use of the building. Since I do not understand the Court to hold otherwise, I join its judgment and opinion.
