170 years of nibbling at the 10 amendments ends in final demoltion.
Reality: "squatter's rights" have become entrenched as an "American" concept of just use of land. That's a fact.
Reality: Property taxation is viewed as a reasonable means to prevent land barons from "enclosing" land like they did in England.
Reality: we have had for 200 years a fairly UNBROKEN support of "developmental rights" over "pristine property rights." (Note that the environmental whacko cases invoving bugs or owls do not involve concepts of "pristine property rights" vs. developmental rights, but of "endagered species" vs. developmental rights). So you can complain that it's "nibbling" or whatever phrase you want to use, but I suggest it's a more productive use of our time to address the legal issues in the TERMS THAT ARE BEING USED, because we can win on those issues. It's like trying to fight the term "gay" anymore. It's pretty much a lost battle.
