"Proving once again that the supreme court justices do not understand the Constitution, or they feel it is "elastic.""

Yeah, but today they stretched the elastic so far it broke.

Game over, folks. Country's gone. Serf City, here we come!

I'm late to the thread, and doubt I'll say anything that hasn't been said, but I gotta rant. Nothing has ever made me as angry as this. Nothing. We had to fight a war over this issue once. Are those who forget and ignore history doomed to be the reincarnation of King George III?

When the government can take your private property anytime it wants to and for any reason it trumps up, then there's no private property. The difference between this and Communism is -- wait! - other than the fact that the government isn't calling it communism, there is no difference.

This is the worst thing that has happened in US history. 6/23/2005 is the day the US fell to Communism, from within, without a shot. In the 30's some Communist writers described how the lure of $$$$ to be made in a capitalist system could be turned against capitalism itself, and make it fall into socialism. Today, SCOTUS validated those ideas, and implemented their plan for them. How? Why? Too many of us were just "asleep at the switch", as the cliche goes.

Well, goodnight fellow freepers. It had a good run, and was fun while it lasted. Let's all now apologize to Ben Franklin - because we sure couldn't keep it.

The Constitution has been broken for a while, this decision was just the latest jackboot to the face.

America: A nice non-Soviet country while it lasted.
