I guess Pfizer is the lucky recipient of this land. I wasn't aware of that until I did a little digging.

This is a fabulous editorial that is well documented.

[bstein80]

This ruling is a travesty. So much for "life, liberty and property." The latter two have just been annihilated.

[andie74]

Well, and if forfeiture is legal, who says that a crime cannot be trumped up on you by your local government to force you out REGARDLESS of their eminent domain "rights"?

[Birdsbane]

There are five US Neoprene Court Injustices whose properties should be commandeered (after "just" compensation, of course) to create DETENTION CENTERS to hold illegal aliens prior to deportation! They can stick that in their pipes and smoke it! Those Injustices are OLD, but they are not "Old School" by any definition of the term...

[Tunehead54]

"nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation"

---

Since we "just" dumped "public" from our Constitution we might as well dump "just compensation" as well. It makes things so messy - people insisting their property has value and all ... this AMENDMENT really impedes the GOVERNMENT from helping us. Right? :-(

[4KennewickMan2Invent]

Shall we all chip in, start a development company and use this new ruling to remove the justices's own houses. Poetic Justice?

[Sun]

Just when we thought we couldn't lose any more Freedoms, we did!

We need to start impeaching the judges.

The anti-religious groups will start going after the churches; wait and see.

Time to contact the president and tell him we want a U.S. Supreme Court nominee that is a STRICT Constitutionalist. President's comment line is 202-456-1111; fax 202-456-2461; e-mail president@whitehouse.gov

Hell yes.

[Experiment 6-2-6]

Um, they are COMPENSATING one for their property.

Time was Government just took the land..

[mc6809e]

How about a constitutional amendment securing private property?

[jb6]

Now what is to keep leftist town councils from getting rid of all churches? After all, churches provide ZERO tax revenue and anything would provide more. I guess they can now have their dream of killing religion in America.

[andie74]

Well, here is the deal...if the area is underdeveloped or not up to an arbitrary city standard (i.e. doesn't produce enough property/sales tax revenue), what is to compensate?

Bad, bad decision. I just posted Kennedy's concurring statement here.

[andie74]

Well, the first amendment is supposed to enusre that that doesn't happen, but after today, all bets are off.

[jb6]

Between this and the Supremes' ruling on medical pot that trumped state rights, well, so much for a constitutional republic.

[jb6]

The left has proven once more to hypocritcally support the ultra rich in the enslavement of the poor. After all, it's not the poor neighborhoods who will be helped, its them who will be bulldozed.

[Birdsbane]

How well padded their pocketbooks must be right now...

[bayareablues]

What a great opportunity to get rid of Ginsburg.

DU, of all places, doesn't like the ruling.

Bury them. Every last one.

Shut them down.

[Sun]

If a mayor, or any politician forces any homeowner in your town to give up their home so they can get higher taxes, vote them out of office.

If they bulldoze homes to build a mall, boycott the mall.

If they bulldoze homes to build an apartment complex, don't rent from that complex.
