Excellent point. Some of these hit pieces are embarassing at the stretches they make and the detail they leave out. And from the sound of it, there were real concerns with the lack of infrastructure in the area to handle sewage which is why the restrictions were put in place.
Within FIVE years.
Maybe it was this ED stuff was known? Judging from his comments and stand on his show, seems like a fierce Constitution defender. Property rights are the fundamental cornerstone of our system, otherwise it is Helloooo Communism!
I disagree and I'm shocked to hear you say that
It's based on zoning, yes... a 20 something year old zoning rule that the area is "blighted" which is no longer applies, since the area is no longer blighted.
It was never repealed, and then used to seize the property.
Legalized theft.
The full moon was yesterday.
The property wasn't seized.
If you're going to support him, you should at least be able to spell his name.
"The property wasn't seized."
The owners were forced to "sell"
They did not have the option to retain posession of it.
I'd call that seized.
Never mind all that; they're busy doing the Democrats work for them.
I suspect the lastest ploy of the left is to use conservatives to sink Roberts.
Some people are sure giving it the "old college try."
The owners were forced to "sell" They did not have the option to retain posession of it. I'd call that seized.
TRP required that the property owners sell the property? To whom? I've not seen that? That sounds incorrect.
Document your claim.
Yes, but I don't think their aim is to defeat Roberts. I think they have bigger fish to fry.
Their aim IMO is to split the conservative vote in 2008. Their target is conservative emotions. The prognosis for what they wish to do is good -- apparently.
I agree. You should see the hate being directed at Santorum -- probably our most principled senator -- by "conservatives".
The balance of externalities is not for a court or government agency to decide as long as the means exist for the market to incorporate them. Unfortunately, the mere existence of the government option destroys any potential for a market in those goods and risks.
Hmmm.
The market does not work to well in this area, thus the externalities. By definition the existence of externalities means the market has not incorporated them into the price system, whether by vouchers or some other device (which would in and of itself require regulation). The existence of externalities is one factor considered by the courts when evaluating whether a taking has occurred by regulation of a temporal nature.
