We quote without comment, because none is necessary, the following bit of judicial doubletalk from Elena v. Municipality of San Juan (1st Cir. 2012) 677 F.3d 1, at footnote.8:
“The plaintiffs correctly note that Sec. 1983 does not require them to exhaust state remedies in order to state a claim; however, that is beside the point. A successful Sec. 1983 claim must be grounded in some substantive violation, and a takings violation requires exhaustion.”
