Has the Supreme Court Shown the Hand of Authoritarian Free Enterprise?
Author: Kenny Adams and Jim Sinclair
Dear CIGA:
Re: KELO et al v. CITY of NEW LONDON, 04-108
The US Supreme Court may well have shown the hand and intentions of Authoritarian Free Enterprise too early for the US public to accept.

Powerful! Thanks for posting.
Forgive me for using such an overused term, but doesn't "authoritarian free enterprise" mean the same thing as "corporatist fascism"?
Once people completely understand their Fifth Amendment rights have just been gutted and the sanctity of their home is up for grabs to the highest bidder, what reason do they have to continue paying property taxes?
Free enterprise has nothing to do with it. Sure, there are corrupt businessmen ready to profit, but few people would venture to claim that Stevens, Souter, Ginsberg, Breyer, and Kennedy are spokesmen for free enterprise.
It's an alliance of corrupt politicians and corrupt businessmen. It's more in the line of Stalin or Hitler than Adam Smith.
It is my hope that this ruling will FINALLY cause the Democratic moderates and conservatives to wake up to the tyranny of the men and women in black.
You are right. The entire basis for this ruling has it's roots in the Communist Manifesto and the elimination of private property.
I never thought in my lifetime... This is a HUGE show stopper.
Lawyers see this AS THE HARD TIME discussed in the article!! This is an elites for elietes decision.
The time the public would accept this the author suggests is ALREADY HERE in the eyes of the left wingers who dominate the legal profession.
I just came from a Bar Conference and the vast majority of laywers and lawyers who are judges are very very very ANGRY that republicans are in charge.
bttt
If our borders are not sovereign, why should our homes be either?

This ruling is not consistent with any concept of free enterprise. Under free enterprise, the developer should have negotiated directly with the owners instead of running to the government "oh please nanny government throw out those pesky little people so we can build on it."
Intersesting this all occurs close to the 4th of July.
Socialism allied with Big Business. Isn't that the definition of Fascism, per Mussolini, who invented it?
Think about the literally millions of homeowners throughout America who will now fall prey to greed.
All a city has to do is ANNEX A DESIRED PROPERTY INTO THE CITY LIMITS to confiscate it.
If you quit paying your property taxes, you'll lose your property a lot faster than by Eminent Domain.
