It is obvious from even this biased account of the Lake Tahoe case that it concerns zoning, not taking. This is NOT the equivalent of the reprehensible Kelo case. And it does NOT show that Judge Roberts has gone over to the dark side.

In the words of Mark Twain, "Do not get drunk on the smell of somebody else's cork."

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.

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It was never repealed, and then used to seize the property.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.

Thanks Billybob.

I suspect the lastest ploy of the left is to use conservatives to sink Roberts.

Thanks for chiming in here, I always look to see what you have to say on legal issues.
