When are we going to wake up? This country is now run by the Supreme Court with their recommendations that our LAW should be determined by international law. When is America going to take the stand we use to and be the country that stands in strength, not with those that would have Socialism be our doctrine? Makes me want to weep!

This ruling has nothing to do with international law.
In fact, private homes are much, much more protected in France than in the US from takings. One old lady with a pigeon coop in France will hold up a large project for years.

Nor does it have anything to do with Socialism.

This ruling was by an American Court, citing to American precedents, in the Common Law tradition of England and America going back through the Indian Treaties all the way to the Enclosure Acts.

Lashing out at the rest of the world is an inappropriate response. The UN didn't do this to you. The Socialists didn't do this to you. The French didn't do this to you, and actually are more protected in their homes than you (commercial property is a different state). The United States Supreme Court, operating under the US Constitution and Common Law tradition did this to you. And the US Congress and US President has not said a peep about it, and won't.

100% of this problem lies in American law and the American constitutional system, and noplace else.

Barking at foreigners is barking up the wrong tree this time, mon ami.
