That "toll road" being proposed right down the front range...in the name of progress, of course.
Landowners who have resisted selling their farm and ranchlands....BEWARE!
I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Waco situation arise for some of those people who don't want to sell their homes.
And if we aren't pressing Congress to amend the constitional amendment to preclude seizure for economic development, we're nuts and deserve everything we get.
How did the majority defend their opinion? What did the it (the Court opinion) say?
"And we MEAN it this time."
I believe Pfizer is also the maker - or at least the marketer - of Viagra.
The polite answer, for the sake of this forum, is to pull a minuteman response for these folks. Peaceful if they are, an in kind response if they are not. Kapisch?
BTW, I think their stock will do just fine. Nobody's going to protest. In fact, their stockholders are going to love it.
I'm a physician and I've decided to not prescribe Pfizer medications if there is another choice.
HES A LOSER THATS WHY AND A WHIMP
Is this the same President Bush who's always talking about an "ownership society"?
Don't kapish.
I will assume you mean a protest? I've already said, when you get IDed at one, you lose your job.
It isn't just CT. We have been trying to fight eminent domain actions in my state as well. Has been happening since 1999
We are out lawyered.
Someone a lot smarter than me once wrote something that begins with the words:
"When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands that have connected them to another..."
An interesting document, with a lot of provocative ideas. Give it a re-read sometime, in light of recent events, here and elsewhere in the land.
Oh, please. Jeb Bush didn't strip anybody of their freedoms, he tried to stop a biased, Scientology-influenced court from killing a woman on the say-so of her biased husband. This had nothing to do with "privacy," which is in any case one of those Roe vs.Wade penumbras. Get a grip.
Regarding this latest decision, I don't know what's going to happen. This is a precedent setting decision, like Brown vs. Bd. of Ed - which was not only a precedent, but was then freely interpreted by the states to include things like forced bussing. Frankly, though, given the little publicity it's received, I think we're all up a creek.
A whole bunch of Ruby Ridge's.
You forgot the big blue pill--Viagra
I have no idea what you are talking about. I never addressed classes. They are irrelevant. Class warfare does not interest me. The only thing that matters is rights. And the usurpation of them.
Prior to this, the constitution has defended them, now that the ruling has redefined the terms, it no longer does.
if your local government is packed with people fully charged to exercise Eminent Domain--kick them off... replace them with people like YOU... people who believe that the Supreme Court's ruling is unconstitutional... it all matters...
