Keene believes "liberal, activist judges will continue to violate the rights of individuals in favor of big government and special interests."

"To help protect property rights, Americans must push for a fair, originalist judge to be appointed to the Supreme Court when the next vacancy arises," he said.

Sad that we even have to worry about this with a GOP President supposedly calling the shots.

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

The American Family Association noted Justice Clarence Thomas' addition to O'Conner's dissent: "If such 'economic development' takings are for a 'public use,' any taking is, and the Court has erased the Public Use Clause from our Constitution."

Judges legislating from the bench. The old cliche lives.

Anyone looking for insight into the bigger picture in what is happening here, this article is a must-read:

When Tyranny Came to America"

Print it. Study it. And pass it along. And pray it's not already to late to turn back the hellish tide of socialism that is sweeping across our nation at an ever-increasing pace.

Sad that we even have to worry about this with a GOP President supposedly calling the shots.

And GOP presidents nominated three of the five justices who made yesterday's outrageous ruling: Stevens (Ford), Souter (Papa Bush) and Kennedy (Reagan).

No more "stealth" candidates for the Supreme Court. Bush must nominate someone whose deeply principled conservative views are widely known. If he doesn't, we're in big, big trouble.

I used to worry about another Souter. Now I worry about another Kennedy, too.

I will say it as plainly as possible.

It damn well should stir anger.

How many of them sons a bitches on the bench who voted for it would have done so if it was THEIR PROPERTY being condemned?

And I won't even ask for a pass for cussin...

As someone who's undergone having the city taking my house, this is a criminal decision IMO.

Well, on the bright side, maybe Neverland can be razed.

Appointing new judges won't help. We need to abolish judicial review so the Constitution is safe from harm no what President appoints our judges. 'Nuff said.

"It is outrageous to think that the government can take away your home any time it wants to build a shopping mall," said ACU Chairman David Keene. "[The] Supreme Court ruling is a slap in the face to property owners everywhere."

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

And it is equally outrageous and a slap in the face when that same government continues to allow millions of illegal aliens to pour unabated into every community in the entire nation.

Who's running this place?

This can be overturned in time by another, sensible Supreme Court. Let's hope so.

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.

It can't be plainer -- according to the Supreme Court, a citizen has no property rights which the government needs to respect. A foreign terrorist has more rights than a property-owning citizen. The left is determined to turn this country into a third-world hellhole where a few rich, politically-connected elites own everything and the peasants are slaves. Probably what will happen next is a lot of "red" states will pass laws protecting property rights while a lot of "blue" states will cheerfully confiscate private property and give it to members of the political class and their wealthy donors. In ten years some states will be unlivable and there will be no middle class.

Why is everyone calling this decision "socialistic"?

The destruction of private property rights is Communism, pure and simple.

Marx and Lenin must gleefully be doing the Gulag Tango in Hell right now.

Something to consider, what happens if an individual discovers oil or gold on their property, can the big oil or mining corporations come in and take the property?

the Court has erased the Public Use Clause from our Constitution."

Free market privatisation of the Public Use. Isn't the private corporate use superior to the private one?

Eminent domain can help free market! The land should belong to those who can squeeze more profit/productivity out of it. After all this was the actual justification for taking the land from Indian tribes.
