LAND FIGHT HITS HOME FOR JUSTICE (Libertarians to seize USSC Breyer's vacation home for park)

It is thrilling to see people take a stand against this outrageous ruling. I do think this latest challenge will have a better chance for success if the proposal is to seize . . . oops, I mean "buy" the land for a commercial venture that generates tax revenue.

To suggest, as the majority USSC did, that crooked politicians in league with developers (their campaign financiers) would make objective decisions that benefit the citizenry---instead of themselves----is an outrage.

Thanks for the link. Nice find.

The Libertarians are doing this. Where is the 'republican' party?

[LRS]

Good question.

While I wouldn't expect the Repubs to offically engage in a "stunt" like this, I do think they should be out pounding away at this truly horrible SCOTUS decision.

When I first stopped being a 1960's leftover doped out hippie around 1980, I couldn't quite get myself to get behind the Repubs, even with Reagan at the helm, because of things like this, so I voted LP. They do have some ideas I still appreciate, and this is one of them. While it has a "stunt" appearance to it, it may be the only way to get this decision overturned. There is a move on to try and get the Supremes to reconsider Kelo, and if only one of the 5 can be convinced how truly awful the decision was, even if by a "stunt", then BRAVO. I won't hold my breath, but at least the LP's are trying something!

"Arguing for a park seems to me quixotic at best."

You have a good point, but being named "Constitution" Park does it for me!

Gotta love it, Constitution Park on an anti-Constitution judge's ex-property!

They would make a better case if they wanted a hotel

Right! Plus with 167 acres throw in a golf course - 50/50 memberships for dues to the council ought to outweigh his property taxes - he prolly has two cows so he can claim it as an agricultural concern and also write it off on his 1040 as 99% business expense. Anyone want to bet? ;-) Nite Nite!
