There has actually been a Supreme Court case where the decision was based on the Third Amendment, although it didn't have anything to do with quartering soldiers. In Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, the court ruled that the Third Amendment shows that it was the Framer's Intent for executive powers to be limited even during wartime. The Federal Government had seized steel plants to assist in the Korean War.
Engblom v. Carey, which was decided by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, is the biggest case that directly involve the Third Amendment. In that case, New York state prison guards went on strike and were evicted from their on-site housing. National Guardsmen were brought in to guard the prisons and lived in those homes.

I learned that no matter how many times you try to tell someone an idiosyncrasy of something that only a local would know they just won't listen to it. They ask a question, the don't like the answer, the ignore the answer and ask the same question again at another time :roll:

The wording of that ruling is more telling: not without congressional approval. It could be done, but requires help from Congress.

Ruling was one way, but the outcome went another way...it still went against the guards at the lower levels after the ruling, reason being the state officials would not have been aware of the interpretation.

Wouldn't that be "only" 2.5 Petabytes?
