Are you thinking of Kelo v. New London?

That's the case that shook the very last of my confidence in the Court. I can read, after all. And the Constitution clearly outlaws such takings of private property. If the Court will not give us justice against legislated theft, we're on our own.

"To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men...Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it."

Our national government has failed its entire purpose, thrown off its legal restraints, and thus illegitimized itself. The "balance of power" in Washington has been reduced to a mere squabbling over the spoils they've looted from their raids on my country.

Ah, yes! Thank you for refreshing my memory. I knew it was 25Jun05 and [some name beginning w/ K] v. New [something related to Britan].
