Kenneth Gordon called it a "sad day in American history." 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.

OK, so what can be done down the road to reverse this hogwash?

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.

Agree, this one will go down with Dredd Scot as one of the most horrible decisions in the Court's history, along with the recent marijuana ruling.
Many years from now, states will wonder where their reserved powers went as they are effectively dissolved, existing in name only, and people will wonder where their rights went, and it'll be directly traceable back to these two decisions, among others.

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.
