If the president is going to promote an "ownership society," he's going to have to overturn this ruling. If the Republicans are smart, they'll campaign in 2006 for a Constitutional Amendment clarifying the point that this type of action is wrong.

I wonder how many Freepers are going to support this ruling. I can think of several who I can imagine coming up with justifications for this type of action.

BINGO! It's amazing that you've said this, because the instant that I heard the SCOTUS ruling, I thought the same thing........that without skipping a beat, the Republican Party should instantly begin banging the drums about the necessity for a constitutional amendment to turn such an anti-American abomination around.

I hope someone smart in the party leadership is reading Free Republic right now.

Thanks for your great comment!

46, so far:

"Do you agree with today's SCOTUS ruling that local governments may seize people's homes and businesses against their will for private development? "
