Unconstitutional on 10th Amendment grounds.
But what will the Senate do?
bkmk
Face it mass media is anti personal rights except when it comes to infanticide.
Kelo= David Souter’s masterpiece. Love me some “evolving” Republican SCOTUS appointees.
About damn to time! WORST decision since Plessy v. Ferguson. AND,it was a liberal decision.
An awful, awful decision that openly allows the government to take your rights away.
“It’s tough to understand the indifference”?
Seriously? The belief in a fundmental right to property stems from a belief in Natural (divine) Law. Oliver Wendell Holmes and his simpaticos, steeped in social darwinism and atheism, did a good job intentionally expunging those concepts from our educational institutions in general, the media, and public discourse in general. To most people, there is no “higher law” protecting “certain inalienable rights.” They believe that whatever rights we have are granted by the government according to “the felt necessities of the time.” And since liberals almost universally believe a strong central government with “the right people in charge” will usher in utopia, well... of course they don’t care if government tramples individual rights to property, free speech, religious expression, or self protection.
Why so little media scrutiny? Because the liberal judges voted FOR it.
Supreme Court gives new meaning to own your own land (until we need it).
btw after the Kelo decision Pfizer came in New London and started building on the land.
Fast forward ten years or so—in a corporate re-organization they abandoned most of the property so...
It turns out that homeowners were kicked out of their property so it could turn into vacant land.
The good news—all the scumbag politicans got their cut from Pfizer. :-(
I read just yesterday “Little Pink House”, the movie based on the Kelo episode, is now available here and there on some of the video services. (Not Netflix though.)
It’s a tough movie to watch, because you know how it ends.
If the Senate doesn’t pass also overwhelmingly pass this, they are worthless.
We have no journalists in our MSM. They are all propagandists for the democrat party, otherwise known as "The Party" as in Orwell's 1984.
Even though the property in the Kelo case was never developed, you can be sure that the developer PAID the politicians who made the transfer possible.
What about reparations?
The movie based on this case, “The Little Pink House”, is now out on Amazon instant video.
