Nice to know that the Constitution is official toilet paper. Federal "rights" trump all State rights and private property is a convinience not a God given right. How frigging nice. China has this level of private property protection. We are heading down hill to meet the chinese.

WARNING

Stop posting threats now!

Do you think the socialists realize that THEIR constitutents are most likely to be harmed by this?

[blueriver]

It means us landowners are only SERFS paying rent on property owned by the ruling classes and their government puppets. When they decide to kick us off our own land, they can legally do so.

How true, that is just around the corner.

The media are polling themselves as we speak, to decide which side to take. The powerful over the people? They will side with the stormtroopers in robes.

Yep, I'd be surprised if the MSM sided against this USSC decision. Just take a look at the judges who dissented: O'Connor, Rehnquist, Scalia, Thomas.

Not to mention that the ruling benefits the MSM's big corporations.

This is about the government taking your property to give to another privat individual, not about the government taking your property (with appropriate compensation) to build roads.

It would take a lot more then this to drive the American soccor mom sheeple to revolution: like another scandal in Gitmo (the stuff that really "matters").

I have my own case pending in Conn. Appellate Court on eminent domain, where I argued the position of the dissent in the underlying State case.

Whether its the Trade Center Memorial, illegals, the peoples' "backbone" on terrorism, the leftist agenda in the public schools- the elites truly are out of step with the people and the Constitution.

Consider, that a woman who lost her husband at the WTC had a debate with Toffel yesterday on Fox, and afterward off camera, in the most heinous act of condescension befitting Schiavo, Toffel said to her, "Nice try".

That remark epitomizes the arrogance of the elites- and in my view- a day of reckoning is coming. No not a revolution, but more and more organizations like the Minutemen.

Revolution, anyone?



I prefer a revolution in dance. B-)

Dead serious, I know here in Pittsburgh, we have had several cases of corporations using emminent domain laws to grab land from homeowners and small shopkeepers from time to time and all of this just opens the doors to this stuff. I have no more respect for the justice system anymore.

I promise not only to never go to New London, I will never visit the state of Connecticut. To hell with the money grubbers!

[followerofchrist]

Lets organize the "free republic economic group." What we need to do is home in on wealthy liberals' homes and build offices. We can generate tax revenue for cities by selling property rights apparral.

Question: Is suggesting a revolution a threat?

[jb6]

He's talking about Walmart strip malls.

[Finger Monkey]

That's "private."

Start taking their homes and see what happens.

This was a dangerous decision because wars have started for less than this.

[jb6]

The revolution was fought over a low 10% tax and the housing of British soldiers. Hardly a comparison to our present "enlightened" tax system and the land grabbing bastards that rule us serfs.

[Leo Carpathian]

Vote the bastRATs out to oblivion! This is not a threat, this is wakeup call!

[Finger Monkey]

wars have started for less than this.

Wars have started for this reason exactly.

It is official citizens no long own property, you can only rent it, with the possibility of eviction at anytime.
