You know, that was my first thought. These people need lawyers and rifles - this has to be settled differently than the insane Supreme Court position. Weird how the msm didn't give any notable attention to this case...

They're biding their time. No sympathy for property rights, but plenty of antipathy for "greedy developers." But, this should free up a lot of funds for social programs. They're really, really torn right now.

My father was telling me about a local guy (PA) whose home was taken years ago, to make room for a highway, and the news showed him standing outside his house with a shotgun when the bulldozers showed up.

He was arrested and hauled off.

This battle has to be fought through the legislature somehow... Some state reps have already jumped on it.

I guess if they had taken the land to build a Walmart, then we'd be hearing about it.
