It's been about a week already. Still waiting for a republican reaction to this......
Don't hold your breath. The republicans in power are in favor of this. Our government has openly declared war on us citizens and no longer makes any pretense about it.

Keep waiting. The national Republican party, from Bush on down, is statist through and through. This is NOT a problem to them.

Because let's face it they claim to represent the LITTLE GUY/GAL/GAY and it's those folk who will have their modest homes stolen 1st.
Virginia Republicans are already working on a bill to enact into state law protections against this kind of taking. I understand that Florida is working on a similar tack.
It will take time to fix the Supreme Court, but at least in this case we can use our legislative outlets to fix the problem. I'd rather have my constitutional protections, but I would imagine that in most states you should be a ble to pass a law since most people should be opposed to this type of taking of private property.
