More thoughts on this.
And, more thoughts on the founding of the United States and why property rights are the ONLY reason we became the most succesful, powerful, and freest nation in the history of the world:

Solutions?
Tax payers protest?
great now the cities can take out the high crime areas and make a decent for human habitation
Congressman Billybob
"great now the cities can take out the high crime areas and make a decent for human habitation"
That is not what will happen and you know it.
Are you being sarcastic? Do you really trust the government to decide what constitutes a "high crime area"? Wouldn't a high crime area be an area that is victimized by crime, rather than populated 100% by criminals?
not to take away from the idiocy of the Supremes in this case and others, but the Bill of Rights was never intended to apply to State action anyway -- it took the activism of the "incorporation" doctrine to make it seem like it does -- its time for states to reassert their (sometimes) wise authority and themselves put strict limits on eminent domain
The Constitution is dead.
There is no law.
The cops are just another gang.
Welcome to Sherwood Forest.
There's no irony in this at all. Liberals are basically socialists who are more comfortable with a dictatorial style of government. Returning to the middle ages wouldn't phase them at all.
As for the recent opinion in Kelo v New London I'd like to see just one senator stand up and ask the Supremes to re-asset that ruling, and if they didn't then introduce a bill that would overrule the court's Kelo opinion.
It's long past time to rein in the judiciary. If it's not done now when will it be done?
The same mindsets that brought you Waco, RubyRidge, and Elian are now freed from all those silly pretexts.
Given the self-serving gutlessness of 95% of those in politics, jury nullification seems the only grassroots weapon.
You never did own your home..
How can they tax something you OWN.?.
Everybody rents.. from somebody or something(Gov't)..
If currency is money why do they call it/them "BILLS"
Texas is headed that way, Utah passed an amendment BEFORE this ruling, evidently percieving that the SCOTUS would rule this way, and McClintock(sp?) in California is pushing for an amendment also. We have the Dems on our side with this one, no one can believe that this court ruled this way, and I think this is the straw that broke the courts back on judicial fiat. The people will not stand still for this one!
Hear, hear, we need to repeal ALL property taxes. If they need to increase sales taxes to meet the revenue loss, so be it, but all states need to get rid of property taxes, no one should lose their home because they can't pay illegal rent to the Government.
under the 'law of the admiralty' which the usa has been operating with, the powers-that-be own everything in the country, though it rarely exercises this control in regards to 'citizens'...
but as far as private ownership of land goes, just try withholding your property taxes and see what happens!
USA - take from the innocent who just want to be left alone and give to the wild-eyed tyrants.
Just trying to figure out if there's any real difference. Don't see one. The communists must be thrilled. Wasn't this part of their agenda some 40-60 years ago, to do away with private ownership of land in the US? Of course the federal government has been working on that for decades in the form of "land management". Somewhere I read what percentage of US acreage is actually owned by the various governments (federal, state, municipal, etc.). I remember being shocked but don't recall the percentage now.
SCOTUS just opened the door for massive land grabs based on about any premise, not just "wilderness" and "eco-systems." What a crock. But soon we'll get adjusted to this idea too, like all the other unConstitutional things that have been enacted against us. Do an internet search for "Walter Mitty's Second Amendment" if any of you have never read it.
And the people who reside in those areas? Trot them out to prison for no reason other than for living in the wrong place at the wrong time?
Amen.
I didn't say I was for it but you may be getting the idea
LMAO ! !
Yep, that worked out real swell w/ Cabrini Green and a thousand other inner city Beiruts in the 60s
