Today we talk with Hank Brinkmann and IJ Senior Attorney Jeff Redfern about how Brinkmann’s Hardware went from a small family shop to a champion of property rights—and their path all the way to the Supreme Court. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ltd6hT9B5DQ related case Family-Owned Hardware Store Sues Long Island Town Trying to Take Away their Property The Brinkmann family owns hardware stores in Long Island and purchased property with the hope of opening a new store.
