This is horrible but what do we expect. We've seen people lose their houses to the government before. The most insiduous is for failure to pay property taxes. One guy lost his home after his wife fell sick with cancer and he couldn't pay taxes on his home on Long Island. The county took the property and sold it for 100 times what he owed in taxes and the guy didn't get anything. That's America today. Property rights are an illusion, we need a Constitutional amendment to spell it out for the morons on the Supreme Court. The question is do we have anyone in the Republican party who has the temerity to push what would be a very popular Amendment. Even the left isn't supportive of this kind of thing.

But it will take the people applying constant pressure to politicians to make this happen. It would be a popular Amendment. While we're at it, let's make property taxes unconstitutional.

The answer is NO, unless of course the people take to their pitchforks, and I don't see that happening.

Disagree about the left not supporting this kind of thing. Maybe those who vote left don't like this, but, note that all the justices who voted FOR the removal of private property rights are liberal, while those dissenting are conservative(though the article glosses over this fact.) Something democrat voters should think about i.e. this is NOT your daddy and grand-daddy's democrat party.

By the way, my aunt had to deal with a tax burden made by her "HINO". He deserted her when my cousin's were little. The govt. showed up on her door step 18 yrs later saying that HINO hadn't paid his taxes for some years and that they couldn't find him. (Never mind that she hadn't seen him in 18 years, had no idea where he was.) They tried to say that she owed the tax bill. She didn't have the money to pay it so they tried to take her house. ( She hadn't divorced HINO because she's Catholic).

She was finally, after many legal battles, able to get them to back off and keep her house-which was all she had in the world. (They eventually found HINO hiding out in Hawaii. ) Tragically, she also got breast cancer while going through this and died about a year after it was resolved.

Ask anyone in my family about it, and they'll tell you she got the cancer from having the stress of dealing with the govt. thugs trying to take her house. Just FYI.

Hope the Republican's are going to do something about this outrage.
