Out manned and outgunned. The People can't revolt!!

I suppose you think that the one third of the Colonists that supported the War of Independence had the British Navy and Army out manned and outgunned with superior technology. You betcha!

If you think that anything close to 1/3 of our current population would support a revolution over the issue of eminent domain, you need to think again. You might interest .5%, but that would be a stretch, I think.

Talk of revolution over this issue is simply nonsense, especially since there are legal remedies that are much easier.

Let's say a state has an element in its consitution that prohibits eminent domain from being used to take any property for the use of any private enterprise. This SCOTUS ruling has nothing to say about that.

Does your state have such an element? No? Then there's your fight. Make it happen.

How about your city? Do they have an ordinance prohibiting such uses of eminent domain? No? There's another battle for you. Your County? Same thing.

It's a lot easier to get people to move in this way over an issue like this one than it is to get them to take up arms, don't you think?
