The Limits of Property Rights

Has any elected official except Tom McClintock spoken out against this?

This is going to cause huge problems for the left and SCOTUS

[rzeznikj at stout]

When and Where does SCOTUS derive the right to use international law in deciding the legality of American Law?

The uglier thing is that Sleezebag Kennedy used principles from Zimbabwe--home of fascist dictator Robert Mugabe.

For our edification, Mugabe is the same pile of human refuse who's put nearly a quarter million of his own people into utter homelessness and razes orphanages in his lust for absolute power.

What Part of "The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land" don't these charlatans understand?

And why is SCOTUS pulling plays out of Mugabe's playbook and telling the government it's perfectly OK?

Finally, as Michael Savage points out time after time again, there is a nasty stench on the bench. After this decision, I'm fully convinced this's the case.

Any ideas on how to Constitutionally rectify this situation--other than praying that Stevens, Breyer, and Kennedy retire from the bench?

I still can't believe the Supreme Court did this, I've watched too many TV stories of people losing their homes and land because the cities want to build something.

I won't mind if it causes a problem for the lefties!!

[Boazo]

That's GOOD!

[microgood]

The New York Times benefited from eminent domain in clearing the land for the new building it is constructing opposite the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

So the NY Times is scum too. Oh, but we already knew that....

New London's development plan may hurt a few small property owners, who will, in any case, be fully compensated.

LOL...they are getting totally screwed as always happens in cases like this.

Ya, it's cute. I can't take credit for creating it though.

I can't tell you how many times today I've had people say that this decision has made them rethink things, many from those who are fairly apolitical or lean left. Like advocating enforcement of the borders, this could be a hugely popular issue for conservatives who speak out. However, for many moderates (and conservatives) there is too great a temptation to raise revenues via ED redevelopments to avoid tax increases, as opposed to cutting spending. Will it become another opportunity missed?

I've not seen anyone else...so, unless they are circling the wagons, this is outrageous!

Can I have a last cigarette, Da-vey?

Here we go! GO TEXAS!

[Ken H]

Can there be a movement to impeach those justices that are using international law to make decisions OVER AND ABOVE the United States Constitution?

PETITION FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVENCES

We the People of the United States, do hereby demand that our duly elected representatives in both houses of Congress, initiate impeachment proceedings against the following Supreme Court Justices:

John Paul Stevens Anthony Kennedy David H. Souter Ruth Bader Ginsburg Stephen G. Breyer

Exactly -- this will not stand. I'm writing and calling everyone I can think of.
