From another thread:

"Did you see the thread on DU? Talking about a truce with FR over this..."

You've GOT to be kidding, right?

If they are upset, too, then maybe we could start a petition to congress and invite those at DU to sign with us.

One of our legal eagle FReepers, (one that has plenty of Constitutional and legislative legal experience), should write the petition (even without DU support, still needs to be done). IMHO, it should include:

Demand for impeachment of the 5 anti-American Justices.
Demand for restating (redefining and limiting) the power of the SC to strict construction of the Constitution.
Supporting property rights of citizens.
Outlawing ALL eminent domain laws, federal and state, except where extraordinary circumstances exist to protect public health and safety (but not EPA type situations) and then only very limited and narrowly defined.
Outlawing all forfeiture, seizure, and confiscation laws.
Demand to change Senate rules to prevent filibusters of Presidential appointments and make it LAW.

If I've left out anything, add your own thoughts, or offer changes and explanation if you've got good reasons. Keep it specific to property rights and the SC - don't want to chase off any DU support - that is, if they have finally started to wake up.

It seems to be true, I took a look over at their thread on the subject and they are pretty PO'ed.

Aside from all the tinfoil hattery they seemed to be most upset that the liberals on the court made up the majority.

Only a few of them seemed to grasp why the conservative's were in dissent.

As someone said upthread: "When all the inmates align their views on an issue, the warden had better take note."

Looks like you hit the high points of what should be on the petition.

DU is as upset as we are (well maybe not quite as upset). Even Ralph Nadar weighed in against it.

I wonder if any of these DUers took a chance to see the NYT editorial supporting it? Disconnect between the elitists and the 'masses'.

I can't believe everyone can be against it and it still passes. Something 'extreme' needs to happen.

Great idea! I would just like to adjust/comment on #6.

6. Demand to change Senate unconstitutional rules to prevent filibusters of Presidential appointments ... and make it LAW.

The unconstitutional senate rules defied the constitution, much like the SC defied the constitution with this ruling. It should never have come to this.
