When private property rights are ignored in favor of what is good for the state (more tax revenue) individual freedom is being ignored. This country was founded on, and prospered on, the idea of the individual as opposed to the collective. The left, Communism/Socialism is based on the collective.

If we want the few, our elected representatives, to control the many (us) then we are getting just that. We must make our voices heard and correct this situation. We know it can be done because we stopped amnesty.

In this case, Kelo, it looks as if the promise of more taxes is in jeopardy but the individuals have lost their property nonetheless. We must remind them that WE run this country, not them, and that our collective votes will tell them so.

No your wrong our votes don’t count The COURT made law the law is whatever the government says it is so they can receive the most revenue!The courts are the final say on what the law is,there is no Andrew Jackson who tells them no!We have turned our country over to the black robe priests who will make up the law on fly.Congress can say we remove from your jurisdiction the following (abortion) but it’s easier to say we can’t do anything it’s the courts! If we really want to get a handle on the courts Congress can abolish the lower courts and remake them and also reduce the Supreme Court to one justice and issue their annual budget so the courts can be reigned in...I’m done ranting the D.C. case has me really worried.

We postponed amnesty. They are reworking the amnesty bill even now.
