McClintock to introduce an amendment to the California Constitution to restore the original meaning of the property protections in the Bill of Rights
“Today the U.S. Supreme Court broke the social compact by striking down one of Americans’ most fundamental rights. Their decision nullifies the Constitution’s Public Use clause and opens an era when the rich and powerful may use government to seize the property of ordinary citizens for private gain.”
“The responsibility now falls on the various states to reassert and restore the property rights of their citizens. I am today announcing my intention to introduce an amendment to the California Constitution to restore the original meaning of the property protections in the Bill of Rights. This amendment will require that the government must either own the property it seizes through eminent domain or guarantee the public the legal right to use the property. In addition, it will require that such property must be restored to the original owner or his rightful successor, if the government ceased to use it for the purpose of the eminent domain action.”

No, Not the 9th....
Mugabe knows how to fix that.
He has declared his intention to run for Lieutenant Governor of California in the next election.

My son (in Glendale) voted for McClintock and he's more liberal than me.
Smart move.
He did run against Grey. The RAT (Bustamente) got 32%, Arnie got 49% and Tom got 14%. We could have had a conservative, but instead we got a RINO.
Please Freepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent Connecticut ping list.
He's shooting too low. America needs him in a powerful position in Washington, preferably as president. If God continues to have mercy on America, we're going to need more like him in influential and powerful positions in Washington.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
"bought out?" More like sabotaged by the CAGOP mandarins.
So you are going to let Walmart take your house without a fight? Just because the statists have a threadbare majority of one Supreme Court vote on the court now gives them no Constitutional right to abrogate our right to private property. The founders are rolling over in their graves today. If we let this go unchallenged, we are truly sheeple who deserve being fleeced by our minders in Washington DC.
Sorry, we need him here in the PRK. Maybe if he wants more you can have him later.

Good for your son. He did the right thing.
Go Tom McClintock
I'm currently out of the state but coming back in 2 years...I'd like to be able to keep my house and property.
GD Supremes.
"I mean, we've gotten to the point where the Massachusetts Supreme Court told their legislature that they had to write a particular law by a particular deadline."
Shudder
No problem.
Tom McClintock is a treasure. Although I don't agree with him about everything, his writings are archetypal conservatism. If you want to read more over time, just ask calcowgirl to put you on her McClintock ping list.
I supported Tom in the recall. I'll support him in this too.
Even people I know who are liberals are shocked by this ruling.
