Great post. I have no idea where this is going to end up, and right now I'm too shocked to come up with any ideas...
Looks like a good lot for a frisbee factory ... it'd bring in more taxes than that useless piee of land just sitting there!
I suggested that we unite with DU at the homes of the plaintiff when the bulldozers come to tear down their houses. Hundreds of us should show up to demonstrate on the properties. 'twould be a "kumbaya" moment between Freepers and DUers, we could have some beer, tell jokes, and at least agree on SOMETHING...
Just days ago there was a judge asking for more security for Judges, Now we know why. So from this point forward if I am on a jury and someone is acussed of bring harm to anyone in black I shall look the other way and say not guilty.
Give congress the final word, by permitting it to overturn Supreme Court rulings, but a 2/3rd's majority of both houses.
As one FReeper put it: There will be property confiscations like wildfire in the coming months.
Bread and circuses
Is there a Robert Moses Ping list?
That would be a paradox.
Good idea.
Sorta like the liquidation of the kulaks?
Fair Market value does not apply here! They would appraise at the residential market value. Must be appraised at the commericial value price! Increase values ten-fold if not more!

I can't really say that I'm surprised, except at the rate at which things are happening. Illegal immigration, trade and budget deficits, etc., and now this. The only logical conclusion I can offer is that powerful forces exist that seek to destroy our Republic. Unfortunately, they are doing a very good job.
As the real wealth of this country continues to be redistributed on a global scale under the guise of "free trade", expect more and more asset seizures as our corporate government needs "hard assets" instead of paper ones.
If there is a silver lining in this, it might be that the bastards overplayed their hand on this one. Folks across the board appear to be really ticked off over this. Maybe something will come of it. Or maybe they'll just go back to watching Fear Factor next week. Time will tell.
Yeah, it's a bad decision, and government will want to get their onfiscations "in before the lock", you might say.
If this decision eventually is somehow overturned, what does it do for people who suddenly have a housing development where the family farm used to be. They wouldn't have much legal recourse, as everything would have been "perfectly legal" when it was done.
Aaah, very appropos :-)
That opinion sticks in my craw.
The wife was just watching TV and saw a fastsite.com commercial. She laughed, "What is that? A government site to get private property??"
Sadly, she isn't far from the truth. Now that the governments can take properties, they will seek buyers by all means, perhaps even with a web site and television advertising.
I'm waiting to hear that some developer want to develop the land of this little ranch in Texas. ;-)
At least 5 of them appear to have "isolated" their heads up their wazoos -- but then, Souter, Breyer, Bader-Witchberg, and Stevens have NEVER cared about the "people" in any case.
