"Time to impeach and remove the euro-judges sitting on the U.S. Supreme Court."
You are correct. I just got through faxing both of my senators. I told them that whatever power they have over the court needs to be exercised, as this decision is against everything our republic stands for (or perhaps stood for). I'm so disgusted -- words fail me.

I would have stayed home if I knew this was the way things would turn out in his second term.

Now, all you'll need in order to buy that little piece of land you've had your eye on, is a pal in the mayors office.
This is a terrible ruling. The justices who voted for this should be removed. And ALL SCOTUS justices should have term limits.

Yeah, real, real smart, Bush controls the Supreme Court?
Maybe you might look at the separation of powers - the Executive, the Judicial, the Legislative powers.

It's bad when even the Michigan Supreme Court has more damn sense than the "Supreme" Court.
My guess is the 5 included Ruth Bader Denseburg, Anthony Kennedy, Stephen Breyer and David Souter.
I'd also bet the minority includes Scalia, Thomas, Rehnquist.
Tough to tell from one day to the next where Sandy Day ("I get my guidance from Europe") O'Connor would come down on an issue like this.

In the following states, it is unlawful to seize homes: Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, South Carolina and Washington. So this decision does not apply to you if you own property there.

The will of the people CAN remove ANYONE from power in ANY position of ANY branch of government.
It just takes controlled breathing and a steady index finger.

If the government cannot deprive you of property without due process of law, nor take it except for public use and without just compensation, then by default private property is explicitly granted.If a property developer owns the city council and local judges, a veneer of "due process" will be effected in a kangaroo court. Your property will be seized and the paper work will be done in a completely "legal" fashion. It may be immoral as hell, but it will be legal. The Supreme Court has extended a license for government to steal private property.

So show where I said Bush controls the supreme court?
You might want to look at investing in some reading glasses.

To: All
This nothing less than pure socialism, stealing, and that is not too strong a word, from one person, to benefit someone else, namely politicians and their development buds.
Roads, maybe a municipal building(fire/cops) and JUST COMPENSATION are not a real problem, I can buy that, but it should be avoided if at all possible.
This is saying they can steal land for private pals who want to develop a strip mall.
Lock and effing load, America is well and truly lost and politicians will not fix it. One option remains.
