Estrich: A Professor of Eminent Domain

It happened late in January on the FOX network's Hannity and Colmes program, with the pretty blonde, Estrich, in her abrasive voice subbing for the absent abrasive Colmes. The subject was eminent domain, a process by which a government "condemns" private property and takes it for "public" use. Until recently, I had never seen it used for any other purpose than to make way for a road or a public development of some kind. A park, a facility to keep equipment, like fire trucks, in a central location. A place to put a school. Those sorts of things.

Then, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed an east coast community to take private homes by this process, and turn the land over to equally private contractors who promised to build large scale dwellings, like hotels or condos. This would raise the value of the land, thus increasing tax revenues to the municipality. Conservatives across the nation were shocked when the court did it. They are incensed to this day. Stupid legal decisions like this are why they backed Thomas for the big court, and now the two new guys.....

There's a pretty blonde Estrich? The only one I know is that ugly hag who used to run Dukakis's campaign. Maybe she has a granddaughter? An adopted granddaughter?

[originalbuckeye]

Nah. She's had a facelift and looks better than she used to.

[JennysCool]

Apparently you guys haven't seen her lately. She's had some pretty spectacular work done!

I'm sorry, but no amount of plastic surgery is going to reconcile me to that phrase.

And her voice still sounds like someone poured marbles into a blender and hit Frappe.

OMG, that's Susan Estrich!

[KingKenrod]

They need to give that plastic surgeon a freaking Nobel Prize in de-uglification...the man is a miracle worker!

[Right Wing Professor]

That's is impressive work. Any surgeon who can make Estrich look almost presentable like this, could probably make an alligator look like Miss America.

[Conservative Goddess]

She had MAJOR plastic surgery. She didn't look like the same person. It took me a few moments to realize it was Susan Estrich. Voice gave her away.

[JennysCool]

No kidding!

[tropical]

Great description of her voice. It's distinctive.

[billakay]

I think that took more than a facelift.

[Right Wing Professor]

Great description of her voice. It's distinctive.

Except on a construction site, when it blends in with the background.

[churchillbuff]

Face transplant? Is this the French woman's face, transplanted to Estrich?

I'm going to have a hard time reconciling the voice with the new face. LOL

[A CA Guy]

They've had this ability in the makeup area for a long time.

I saw that show and Larry Leonard is correct. I also saw O'Reilly absolutely tear her apart on his show one night regarding the book she wrote about the Hildebeast. He was pinning her down for the reasons Hilly should be elected president other than being a woman. Estrich was so incompetent, she acted like she was soused.

[Enchante]

My, my ..... that's a genunine "Hollywood reconstruction" -- I would never have recognized her as the former Susan Estrich!
