This action was brought by the city of New London CT. I live in CT and our Governor, Jodi Rell reacted to the decision by stating that it was a matter the legislature should handle. I agree and hope she will follow through by supporting legislation that will make the decision moot. I think it is an elegant solution to the matter by putting elected officials, not insulated judges, on record regarding our property rights.
Good points. This case sure does beg the question of 'insulating judges' though. Take the Ninth Circuit Court for example. Please... Not even for an example, just take them.
