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.

We've been having a lot of those lately.....
You dont have to be a lawyer , you dont have to be intelligent , to realise that this is a precedent that will have terrible consequence for America. One of the basic tenets of being American has just been thrown down the toilet.

RE: Your Right To Own Property
BOHICA!!!!!!
OK, so what can be done down the road to reverse this hogwash?
What makes you think you owned the property anyway!
Exactly! If you think you actually own your property try not paying the property taxes and see what happens.....

A five to four decision with the liberals lining up to cease private property . They must feel proud . Who's lookin' out for the rich now ??? And the MSM have no comment basically . Now we know what the framers might have been thinking while composing the second ammendment .
A lot of threads on this today. Since nothing has changed, we have to wonder why all the sudden interest in understanding the nature of rights.
A spokesman for the Libertarian Party of Connecticut Thursday accused the U.S. Supreme Court of setting "a horrible precedent" in siding with local governments that seize property for the so-called "public good." Kenneth Gordon called it a "sad day in American history."
The high court's ruling on eminent domain "now allows government to be in cahoots with business to steal property from private owners to give essentially to the highest bidders," said Gordon, the communications director for the Libertarian Party of Connecticut. "It's crossing a line that I hoped we never were going to cross," he told Cybercast News Service.
You keep asserting that nothing has changed when it most certainly has. Why is that? Do you have a vested interest in keeping this ruling in place?
The first properties to be taken should be the homes of the Justices.
Thanks for posting that link.
EARTHQUAKE!
I have been flogging this issue for years as it pertains to property in outer space and no one seemed to notice something was amiss. Now they see something is amiss. Nothing has changed except our perception.
So very sad. So very true.
Today new perspectives are being brought forward. I normally do not participate very much in the posts but something such as capital gains is a big problem for those who are "bought out", especially those who rely on these for retirement. Next I would ask who are you today when the government really is the owner of your property? Where is the free market system now?... I would be amazed if questions such as these ceased.
