We can wish ourselves blue in the face, but reality will still be there when we start breathing again.
it takes a village to raise a child to steal your house.
Has Bush come out to condemn this yet? What happened to his "Ownership Society"?
...So does this mean that Atlantic City can finally take that little old lady's house away from her and give it to Donald Trump?...
Sure it does. The Donald is a popular and powerful figure. Now that the Constitution no longer stands in his way, he can take it.
Now watch somebody come back and say "but but but, the State of New York or her local goverment can still protect her".
And yes, they could. But they won't necessarily. If that were the case, why the hell did we need a U.S. Constitutional Amendment to protect her in the first place? Was that just thrown in there as a joke? I don't think so.
According to some threads, bush had a press conference and didnt say ONE WORD about it:

LOL. :-)
it goes without saying that politicians do not have the same visceral reactions as people in fly over country.
people are very interested in this ruling.
He didn't happen to mention who the owners will be, did he? Or if the ownership is to be of the assets or the responsibility and duty?
The family farm is already about done in favor of the corporate farm. And that was something Algore was proud of during his campaign.

Very tragically, no. I was thinking of his "OWNERSHIP SOCIETY" today...a real paradox when you have a socialist SC intent on destroying Constitutional freedoms. As I pointed out earlier, we are sending our troops to die, fighting for FREEDOM and THE INSTALLATION OF CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS in Iraq, yet we JUST SIT AND WATCH as our SC tears apart our own freedoms and rights...THIS COUNTRY IS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL.
And it's all happening sooner than I could have ever imagined. Under the "leadership" of a so called "republican" president, and under the "leadership" of a so called "republican" congress.
The fundamental point that I've made within the past few days, and I've thought this for a long time: Today's political system has been pulled so far to the left by the Democommies that today's Republican party has shifted leftward as well. We need someone radical, in the vein of the founding fathers. Today's republican party would appear to be socialist-lite compared to those great men.
I feel duped. Here we are, a bunch of nobodys on this site, angry and pissed off day after day about multiple decisions which infringe upon our freedoms. The internet and talk radio echo the feelings of the base which states they do NOT want the borders open. Does the Bush listen? He could give two sh*ts less, and in fact called the Minutemen "vigilantes". This issue will be the same way, the base is pissed off but no one in Washington cares.
Time for a Tea Party.

I am afraid that the elitists in Washington have tuned out their own country, in favor of some utopian world agenda, leaving us effectively, with little or no government supporting America as it was defined in the Constitution and the Dec. of Ind. Until the people ** WAKE UP, AND RISE UP ** and hit Washington very hard, will we see any change. It just keeps getting worse.

But you see Big Government is ok as long as the Republicans are in control of it. /s

My thoughts on the matter:

This is not the first or worst case of Emminent Domain in the so called "Constitution State" of Conn. Several years ago the City of Bristol, Conn. was informed by one of their leading taxpayers [Yarde Metals] that if they could not expand they would leave Bristol. It just so happened that right next door to Yarde Metals was a 100 acre farm that they had offered to buy and were refused by the owner as it was his family farm and in his family for generations. Well the city of Bristol used the power of Emminent Domain to take the farmers land from him and give it to a Business who would provide them with a higher tax revenue! IF THAT IS NOT CRIMINAL I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS! Very little attention was paid to this matter although Readers Digest did a story on it a few years back.
Don't forget the Cherokees and their land, taken from them by Andrew Jackson and the American Military. They were American citizens and had a congressman as well that also had to move onto a reservation.
Yes, the NYT stole the land for expansion though their crooked politicians who used eminent domain for the project. Princeton University did the same thing. These libs won't be criticizing the liberal Court majority anyway, but as long as they are the ones gaining from this thuggery, they certainly will defend this ruling.
and Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing separately, underscored that its goal cannot simply be to help a developer or other private party become richer.
And this will stop people how. Kennedy is a fool.
People need to get over the right v left argument. It is a tool of those wanting to control thought. If left is total govt by liberals, and the right is total govt by fascists, what is the difference? A proper political spectrum would be left side total govt, right side anarchy. That places all dictators on the same side, whether communists or dictators, and of course no govt on the opposite side. That way of looking at things does not work for the parties though. They would have to admit that both of them are for larger govt control, and less liberty for the masses. So they pretend to fight for the middle.
In my city, they are now building "Hope VI", the new version of low rent housing. The people living there before the new buildings started going in, had destroyed 5 other incarnations of public projects.
Why? Just because there was bloodshed in Zimbabwe when this happened there. I don't think it could be worse if Robert Mugabe was on the supreme court. Unbelievable, the U.S. of A is now on par with Zimbabwe, Unbelievable.
I think the Crawford Ranch might be put to better use as a golf course.
