Boortz Ping!



If you want on or off Boortz ping list, FRmail me. This is not a high volume ping.

We all live in Pubic Housing now.

It's time for far more than this, it's time to shitcan that POS called the SCOTUS and replace it with something elected, either that or we just need to scrap this entire government from the top down and create something new.

[conservativecorner]

It will be judicial tyranny that brings this country down. Every day brings another nail in the coffin for our Constitution.

[IncPen]

This is why the libs froth at the mouth over Judicial appointments: it's their power.

[Fawn]

Does that mean we still have to pay property taxes?

[Wolfie]

Old news, really.

F.E.A.R.

[jigsaw]

Yes, but they're now called tributes.

[CDHart]

According to a talk show I listened to this morning, the SCOTUS ruling included something to the effect that local and state governments could institute further protections for private property. That struck me as odd, since the eminent domain function was part of what the federal government was supposed to administer.

Hey, even my lib friends were incensed over this decision. I more than half believe that Souter, Breyer, Ginsburg, Kennedy, and Stevens are suffering from some sort of group dementia.

Seems the second ammendment is about all we have left.

If you wanna get really steamed, go read Jonathan Adler's ramblings over in the Corrner on NRO. Seems he thinks property owners did pretty well in this case and that we should be pleased we at least got 4 justices on our side.

Please excuse me -- I feel a strange urge clean my gun.

[OpusatFR]

Essentially, there are no rights to private property in America.

Why are we putting up with this?

[sauropod]

On please. Boortz is da man!

Under this Supreme court ruling the city can just seize the property from Belinda and hand it over to the developer to build those homes. Belinda has no way to stop this action. The city will have to play Belinda "just compensation," but that compensation will never match what Belinda might have earned by selling the property herself. Besides ... she didn't want to sell in the first place. It was her property, and she wanted to keep it. Now it can be taken ... just like that.

It's time to start turning this Supreme Court ruling on its head in cases like this. The developer in this hypothetical case will be sh!t out of luck -- and the politicians who are backing him will be thrown out of office on their @sses, when Belinda gets Wal-Mart or Home Depot to tender an offer on the land that the developer coveted for his "three or four large homes."

[Conservatrix]

I am so sick this morning over this.

Imagine what Her Majesty would do if she were elected and this were in force.

[Bring Back Old Sparky]

What I am having a hard time understanding is why are the liberals not howling about this. If you seize a number of $40,000 houses to build a golf course and $1,000,000 houses, isn't that a transfer from the poor to the rich?

Boortz seems to think that it might be a fair trade to allow Hillary to become president, trading this for Libertarian Party gains (and scaring the crap out of Republicans). I hope he notes that every SCOTUS justice that Slick Willy appointed came down on the wrong side of this issue.

[Alberta's Child]

Hey, even my lib friends were incensed over this decision.

That doesn't surprise me. Wait till it becomes clear to everyone that the end result of this case will be that governments have the right to seize private property owned by poor minorities -- and that the prime benficiaries will be major corporations like Pfizer.

Eminent Domain should have been elmimnated entirely from this continent, unfortunately it was not.

This is what happens when you leave the protection of your freedoms to others.

I don't care if I get banned from this site or not at this point, this needs saying. It's high time we as a people stood up to this tyranny going on in Washington DC. If we don't do it now and get it under control and put this Government back in it's box, violently if necessary, then we will lose every ounce of freedom we ever had.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Okay, Freepers...so now what happens to churches? Churches don't pay taxes. Is there going to be a church property grab?
