THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Today, June 23, 2005, the Supreme Court totally defied history, abdicated their duty to insure justice, ignored our Constitution and trashed the rights of We the People by depriving us of our right to private ownership of property.

[Huck]

Sorry, too busy trying to get a flag burning amendment. After this last assault on my rights, I might burn mine while I still have a chance.

Ouch. The truth hurts.

[edeal]

Well thats 5 down. 5 to go. As soon as we get that flag burning amendment through, it will be 6.

So I wonder how happy the liberals are with their "liberal" injustices?

[Blzbba]

"Liberal Justices voting for big business and big government, and conservative Justices voting for the little guy. Go figure. /sarcasm"



What surprised me is that 3 of the 5 a$$hole judges were appointed by (R) Presidents.

I mean, if a (R)-appointed Justice makes this kind of ruling, what recourse is left (since Electing Republicans to Executive office for SC nominees ain't workin')?

[Americanexpat]

"Maybe what needs to happen is some high profile government confiscation of private property in support of the decision. The Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port might be a good start or the homes of the justices that voted for this ruling."

I think your on to something. That Kennedy property good be better put to use as a hotel for tourists with a shopping mall and some casinos. Look at all the revenue that will bring in and it will stop the Kennedy family from fighting over the property amongst themselves.

[gieriscm]

Those three may have been appointed by (R) Presidents, but they sure as heck ain't conservative.

[pollywog]

Only one of consequence I know of --- Tom McClintok here in California stood up and called it exactly what it is

LET's ALL RALLY around Tom McClintock and support him in this effort. WRITE / CALL/ EMAIL HIM and let him know you appreciate him standing up for what is right!!!!!!! GO TOM GO!!!!!!!

[Sprite518]

Those 5 Justices need to be impeached at the very least.

[aspiring.hillbilly]

Those bastards who ruled this are impeachable...<br?

Article. III.
Section. 1.

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices ""during good Behaviour,"" and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Bump your comments!!!!

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

someone from CA actually sets a good precedent for a change...

[Iron Matron]

But they'll sucker us into voting for them. Faced with the spectre of Shrillary, we'll all vote for the GOP like suckers. What else can we do? Work hard in the primaries, deal with the disappointing mediocrity of the nominee, and hold your nose on election day.<<<

We the People can gather ourselves together and THROW THEM OUT!! Tell them to Cease and Desist.

But, unfortuantely. This is a nation of apathetic Cowards.

[Thisiswhoweare]

170 years of nibbling at the 10 amendments ends in final demoltion.

[PeterFinn]

We're toast as a nation with this ruling. We just became no better than Communist China where the government can seize anything of your anytime it wants to.

The Constitution, as of this ruling, is not even decent toilet paper.

[jpsb]

I read on another thread the the GOP Administration wanted to file a friend of the court brief in support of the city of New London. So seems the GOP is in favor of taking away the right of the poor and middle class to own private property. No surprise here, the GOP has long been at war with it's the middle class base. Keep voting GOP for more (much more) of the same.

[PeterFinn]

"State senator from CA" trying to protect individual rights?

Yeah, that'll happen.

[Yo-Yo]

What surprised me is that 3 of the 5 a$$hole judges were appointed by (R) Presidents.

Ah, yes, but they had to be CONFIRMED by a DemocRATic Senate! These were the most conservative Justices that survived that process. Hence the squabble now by the MINORITY party regarding fillibuster "rights."

[Cultural Jihad]

The government can now confiscate your home and personal property for the economic good of others.

This is SCARY.

Liberty and self-governance are not scary things in the hands of trustworthy people. The only time this ruling would become scary if when the majority of people become corrupted, and at that point eminent domain would be the least of your worries.

Just for the rich?? I don't think so...most of us work and struggle for years to finally buy a house. It is always the biggest and most important purchase for anyone so this decision by the Supreme Court is big. The bad part is it seems to have NO RECOURSE>. Every person owning property is not rich and cities like most we live in are land sprawl all over the place. We move way out and all of the sudden, the city is all around us. Living on water, ocean, river or close in, means it could happen, and that seems very unconstitutional to me. Scenic mountain areas can be included.
