What back page will the Post and Times hide this decision by their liberal dictators? Hitler would be proud.

This is a very sad day in American history.

Absolutely unbelievable. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! How is it possible to reconcile this decision with American history. This ruling is a watershed. Say you want a revolution? There should be rioting in the streets.....but we would have to divert our attention from the Micheal Jackson trial.

Revolution, anyone?

Uh, well, we tried that about 145 years ago and the damn yankees burned us out and stole our land.

They ought to call this the "Sherman Law".

John Paul Stevens wrote for the majority. He was joined by Justice Anthony Kennedy, David H. Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer.

What are their home addresses? I have a feeling that those would be good spots to open some McDs and BKs. If they don't want to move, they can man the drive-thrus.

I agree, a riot would be an appropriate reaction.

And a hundred years ago there would be open rebellion and another civil war. Today? Hardly. Our neutered society will protest and bitch and a few will stand and fight and the statist media will portray them as nothing but fanatics and hound them until they are seen as public enemy number one: followed by calls for more gun bans.

I know that.

I simply was responding to someone who said that the government can now simply steal your property. They cannot. The use of eminent domain has been corrupted and I think that this is a moronic ruling but the fact remains that even though the government has been given a big + is seizing your property, they still cannot simply steal it.

So, when do we leave?
This would be a great Freeper rallying point. These residents might need help when the bulldozers arrive!

Are insults OK?
Ruth Bader Vader Ginsberg: doesn't she look like that homely chicken with the egg-head son Foghorn Leghorn was always mooching off?
And Souter, GHWB's appointment: what a *dis*appointment!
Kennedy, again citing Martian condemnation law.

These birds can make-up constitutional rights out of whole cloth, but apparently can't read the following:

So much for the notion of "private property".

And on top of that, you now know what your citizenship is worth: $7,000 fine for illegals filing after crossing illegally. Yup, isn't life grand?

The Union fought the War of Northern Aggression so that they could take away States Rights and Property Rights, Why is anyone surprised?

Truly, fast food restaurants would definately generate more tax income than the personal property taxes paid by the J's on their "private property."

Do these people own (or now rent) real estate?

We will not let the government take our land to give to another.

They will take my land when they pry it from my cold dead fingers.........or is that guns.....uh, either way.

I will fight to the death.

Are you with me?

I am with you to the death. Plus, any reason to buy more guns.

Any attempt of a revolution would be met quickly under the guise of the "Patriot Act." How quick do you think revolutionaries would be classified as "terrorists?"

I am not advocating violence, but if someone invades your home, like a thief, you can shoot them. No?

That's damn wrong.

Folks, make sure you know who your city council, mayor's, township supervisors, township boards, and planning commission's buddies are. Your home may depend on it.

Does anyone know what the property rights are in Canada?

Moving across the boarder may be better then it seemed before if they have better property rights.

I was going to get a home equity loan, but not sure now, hell it not my property.
