Was the ruling for both Hernandez v. Texas and Berman v. Parker unanimous?
Berman v. Parker Berman v. Parker, 348 U.S. 26 (1954) is a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that interpreted the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause: "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation" in the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Court voted 8–0, holding private property could be taken for a public "purpose" with just compensation. This case laid the foundation for the Court's later important public use cases, "Hawaii Housing Authority v. Midkiff", 467 U.S. 229 (1984) and "Kelo v. City of New London", 545 U.S. 469 (2005). Critics of recent occurrences of eminent domain uses trace what they view as property rights violations to this case.
Hurst v. Florida Hurst v. Florida, 577 U.S. ___ (2016) , was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court, in an 8-1 ruling, applied the rule of "Ring v. Arizona", 536 U.S. 584 (2002) , to the Florida capital sentencing scheme, holding that the Sixth Amendment requires a jury to find the aggravating factors necessary for imposing the death penalty. In Florida, under a 2013 statute, the jury made "recommendations" but the judge decided the facts.
