I agree. Not only is the public aware - but city officials are commiting political suicide if they approve such stuff .. at least I would hope people would be outraged and vote such people out of office.
And .. I hope the House continues on it's path to DEFUND such actions. Pelosi says we can't do that .. but WE NOT ONLY CAN - WE SHOULD.
New Hampshire could pass a constitutional amendment forbidding such takings. Hopefully, they will pass it shortly after Souter's house is bulldozed.
