"Ronald Reagan put Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court.

Had he picked someone more conservative we wouldn't be having this conversation."

=================

And so you are saying that R.R. would have agreed with this vote?

[billclintonwillrotinhell]

If Anthony Kennedy begins to see private property owners being booted out of their decades-old homes, maybe his conscience will force him to resign. I know, I know. Wishful thinking. He probably doesn't have a conscience. JUST IMPEACH THE BASTARD!

Stephen King wrote an absolutely excellent novelette about a man whose house was going to be bulldozed for a road...can't remember the title...but he took matters into his own hands, and gave his life in protest...

"Who's running this place?"

Socialist Jackasses. The Constitution of the US is trashed, middle class American's rights are diminished to less than that of a peasant in central Mexico - 'cause in a few weeks, they'll be here and the American will be forced to pay for him.

[normy]

Where's the tar and feathers for those who voted yes? They need run out on a rail.

[ovrtaxt]

'The Hitch Hiker's Guide' begins in much the same way.

JUST IMPEACH THE BASTARD!

Who are you talking to?
Nobody who reads this board has the ability to do that.
I'll bet you don't have FIVE senators who would vote to impeach, much less 67.
I'll bet there aren't THREE.
They're all in on it.

[billclintonwillrotinhell]

Who are you talking to? Nobody who reads this board has the ability to do that.

Well, nobody on this board had the power to impeach Bill Clinton, either. However, the passion, commitment and sense of mission by many FReepers across this nation convinced dozens of moderate Republicans in the U.S. House to impeach Bill Clinton. And 50 U.S. Senators voted to convict him, even though the public was two-thirds against it in polls.

[George Frm Br00klyn Park]

Guys. We are officially a third world country ruled by a few politically appointed bureaucrats in favor of their friends. Zimbabwe comes to mind. Impeachment is the only answer. Peace and love, George.

Meanwhile the ENTIRE COUNTRY is being given away to South America . .

Doesn't Teddy Kennedy have a big 'ol house down by the water on too big a piece of wasted property?

Seems like that ought to be great for dozing those big homes there - John Kerry-Heinz's place there too.

Many more homes for many more people could be built on that land on the Cape.

Maybe also a Walmart or Target store and a big mall right there on the waterside.

Bet if they decide to "take" the home of some ALF folks for a few pennies on the dollar - Justice Kennedy's and Ginberg's homes will get some real friendly visitors......

See the nutty professors on TV last night thrilled about creating jobs and all of that "common good"?


Radical libs on SCOTUS must think all the "little liberals" live in a van - down by the river - well now they will have to park those vans down at the city dump!

[tkathy]

Never. Talk of another Ross Perot third party will just put Hillary in power, just as it put Bill Clinton in power.

[ovrtaxt]

As the Dems spiral away into irrelevance, that won't be an issue. They are $900,000 in violation to the IRS in FL.

The Dems and the IRS. What a combination-- a marriage made in hell. :)

===================================

hehe . . as you said that I couldn't help but think of the Israeli bulldozer / peace protestor fiasco.

[machman]

This truly is the first step to Fascism. What better way for "public/private" partnerships to have their way . Hillary must be pleased........

We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

I suppose you've been voting Republican because the alternative is much, much worse

Exactly! I wasn't gaga over GWHB or Dole like I was for the Gipper, but they were infinitely preferable to Bubba. I just can't stomach this ruling. Private property is now a thing of the past. I never thought I would see the day in America.

[Wolfie]

I'd hate to be the sap enforcing this ruling.

City Council, people, City Council.
