Where's the outrage from the politicans over yesterdays Supreme Court ruling? KELO VS. NEW LONDON

[janetjanet998]

Bush just had a news conference not one word..not one question from the media...what is going on? Seems only people on the internet are getting it. Were are the Congressmen?

Fox news silent

[janetjanet998]

please sign the petitionCall for Constitutional Amendment to overturn the decision of the Supreme Court here

any ideas how we can spread he word about this outrage..or are people to busy watching "important" things like American Idol or Oprah?

[Stevieboy]

An excellent question.

[thoughtomator]

They're busy trying to decide what to seize.

They're busy trying to decide what to seize.

We little people just have to hang on for the ride.

They are going to do what they want to anyway, no matter what we say. Pathetic!

[Rutles4Ever]

The relative quiet has been troubling. This may have to do with the peculiar patron-like relationship many corporations have with political bodies.

The politicians are not really at risk here since they hold the keys of condemnation. Why would they turn around and cede that power?

[DoctorMichael]

"........not one question from the media.........."

For one, most of the news-readers in the media are either too far Left to disagree with this blatantly Marxist, Anti-American ruling, or too stupid and uneducated to understand the implications of the ruling.

......or both.

[reelfoot]

The politicians are silent because they are comfortable with the decision. They like exercising governmental power and this decision gives government officials more power. It's not a party distinction; Republicans are hardly better than Dims in this regard. Viz the out-of-control federal spending and increasing centralization of power in D.C. by the Repubs.

I don't see real reform coming from the current crop of politicians.

Bingo! And they've got a vacation coming up to tour potential locations to seize.

[MineralMan]

You expected President Bush to say something about this? Really? Did you expect him to say the SCOTUS was wrong? Really? Oh, my!

[I still care]

We need to not let this die. I think people are outraged enough to push this one. I am calling every representative I have, and emailing stuff to my address book.

[Hank Rearden]

Bush is far too busy talking about why we need to expend money and lives to increase liberty in other countries.

This is the man who happily assaulted the First Amendment and political free speech, remember.

[TXBSAFH]

What outrage, they love it. Look at it from their point of view. More tax money to waste and a developer to line their pockets to get them to do it. They for the most part do not care if they hurt us, after all we are jus tthe little people.

[new cruelty]

Give it about 5 years... maybe 10 years... then maybe some of them will express outrage.

[BulletBobCo]

"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

[Uncle Fud]

Bush was part of the effort to use eminent domain to get a new ballpark for the Texas Rangers.

I'd keep my mouth shut too if I had that in my resume.

[janetjanet998]

remember how congress/pres reacted after the under god ruling in the pledge? outraged!

[YaYa123]

Oh you'd hear the politicians squeal if their mansions and ocean front property were threatened. Wouldn't it be great if all of Martha's Vineyard was seized for a wind farm?

[RoseofTexas]

At least one of our State Republican Representative in Austin Texas is HOPING mad over the SC ruling! He is going to introduce a bill to give property owners BACK the right to own their land...or something like that!! KUDOS to the State of Texas!! YEHAWWWWW!

[EagleUSA]

This may have to do with the peculiar patron-like relationship many corporations have with political bodies.

It is very disturbing, the silence that is. Only a few have stood up to be heard on the issue -- it does not bode well for the future of the republic and its Constitution. As it was with our first Revolution, only a fraction of the people actually supported it, as any GOOD history book will show. But it worked, and it saved America. The people WHO CARE about America, have to take the stand, and make the outcry.

[teenyelliott]

I am not surprised in the least that Bush, let alone the media, has not mentioned the ruling.

Most people in this country are monkey see, monkey do. They are not likely to get upset about something THEY see as having no impact on them personally.

Most people never do much thinking at all, and certainly are not going to get worked up over some dumb political thing when they have beer to drink and barbecues to attend.

I'm not sure there is anything we can do. I believe that the majority of Americans simply cannot be bothered with lifting a finger to protect their country, or their rights.

Some yesterday were calling for a revolution. That will never happen due to apathy.
