communists don't believe in private property...the dems know they could never do this and survive an election...So, they put libs on the court who do the dirty work for them......Watch all the hand wringing in congress and they won't put through any bills to protect the rights of property owners...They will just keep wringing their hands and say poor poor homeowners

Third thread.
The search bar is your friend. This has been posted at least a half dozen times today.
Now eminent domain can be employed for any reason whatsoever. Level a cluster of low-cost homes for a shopping mall? Well, it increases the city's tax base so it can be defined as "the public good."
I used to work for a city government -- they are drooling over the revenue potential. The city (Mesa, AZ) was hammered by the courts a couple of years ago for just this type of set-up. Sickening.
This opens up the door for horrendous abuses to powerless citizens. Books and movies have been made in the past about these types of themes.
Simon Legree is a developer and he basically owns the city council, or board of supervisors. He sees a chance to make a ton of money but a key piece of land he wants belongs to the widow Brown, who has two young children. No problem. He gets his buddies to seize the property and he pays very little for it. The widow Brown is left without her house and land, and Simon Legree and his bought-and-paid-for politicians get wealthier.
Ok Ok sorry this has been re-posted....is it anything like Seinfeld and regifted....if you have already have seen than ignore it...geez
Supremes rule that that private property does not exists. Home owners are merely renting the ground from the state. Think about it when you get ready to sign on the bottom line.
I say don't just complain here but email your house rep and senators and demand a new constitutional amendment so that the 5 idiots on the SC will now know what "Public Use" means in the 5th amendment. Here is the text I used, use or abuse as you see fit
How does this compare to what the English did to the early American colonists?
A sad day in American History.
>....we are losing America<
What do you mean "are losing"? We lost it a long time ago when we erroneously assumed that we defeated communism. All it did was to go underground, change its name to liberalism, and now it raises its ugly head in the house, senate and supreme court. Krushev was wrong when he predicted that communism would bury us. We buried ourselves.
I'm not complaining about re-posting -- the more people that see this, the better!
you are right, we lost America....liberalism the great destroyer...I just sent this article to a liberal friend of mine who is active in preserving green space in the New Jersey area and she is also a lobbyistin DC....I am interested to see what she says about this
Boycott Connecticut
I wonder how they are responding to this over in DU. I know they are no bastion of private property lovers, but they are always saying how the conservatives are corporate nazis that steal from the little people.
This is a nasty kick in the reality. They'll have to spin it in order to make it palatable for themselves, but then again, they are good at that.
It's just not the Libs. It's all a these evil governmental crooks. Every last one of these corrupt pieces of garbage should be tossed out. "Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it" It's time to listen to Mr. Jefferson. I better not get going anymore. The evil government critters may use the Patriot act and come take me away!
