Here's a look at the people fighting for their property after living the American dream. I am in tears.
I know we have a 2nd amendment but i just cant remember what for....
If we're going to have such madness imposed on it, then let's use it. Drill ANWR NOW!! Let's get those windmills built of the Massachusetts coast! Set up the rigs off of Florida and Carolina and California!
Sauce for the goose...
The community's benefit. Now, there is a broad term!
If their land is being taken from them, they should get a stipend based on the revenues generated on it. Anything else is theft and is beneath the dignity of any country that I would be proud of.
The depth of this disasterous ruling cannot be overstated.
The city should have been declared bankrupt and dissolved.
The officials and lawyers behind this are pond scum socialists. And the 5 justices who rubber stamped this thieft are unfit to sit on any bench.
Excuse me while I go off and puke.
This is horrible but what do we expect. We've seen people lose their houses to the government before. The most insiduous is for failure to pay property taxes. One guy lost his home after his wife fell sick with cancer and he couldn't pay taxes on his home on Long Island. The county took the property and sold it for 100 times what he owed in taxes and the guy didn't get anything. That's America today. Property rights are an illusion, we need a Constitutional amendment to spell it out for the morons on the Supreme Court. The question is do we have anyone in the Republican party who has the temerity to push what would be a very popular Amendment. Even the left isn't supportive of this kind of thing.
I vote for civil war.
This case makes New London look good and you should be proud to live in New London..."
Until they decide that your hme is next.
Good post, andie74. Those poor people's lives are in ashes. The last thing I wanted to see was the New London official crowing over the decision. The way prices and taxes are in CT, I doubt the money they receive for their homes will come anywhere near what it will cost to get another home of similar quality.
I suggest that anyone who owns property arm themselves. Constitutional protection was just sold to the highest bidder.
Confrontation is mathematically only a matter of time now.
My city is already discussing using this precedent to force people from downtown areas to make room for a new stadium and I am over 1000 miles away from Connecticut.
It may now come to pass that a few more people will understand what Vanderbilt's meaning was when he said, "The public good be damned!"
This shyster and others will pay the price one day for their lack of vision.
June 23, 2005. A date which will live in infamy......
What are they really after with this ruling? What is it that we are not looking at? We fix our gaze upon the issue at hand. We look with a magnifying glass at what the supreme courts decision could mean regarding our homes and lands. But what else could they really be "after" when this body of justices thumb their noses at the "law of the land" in such a blasphemous way? If they don't have any respect for the law, what then are they really ultimately after in all of this? When you have a handful of people casting opinions that will impact the entire nation in the coming months and those people don't give a damn about righteous judgement, what are they ultimately after? What is the ultimate logical conclusion to their thinking? Is it really about money, land, property, rights, business, the good of the community? All of those are their moral argument. Its time to start thinking like our adversary and figure out where they are really ultimately going with this kind of rubbish. Their opinion today was criminal, illegal and Unconstitutional. The free land grab doctrine espoused today by the socialist communist supreme court members is not about the United States of America nor is it about "our" Constitution, its about someone elses constitution, one that abhors the "idea" of America in principle and in deed.
Just exactly who are you people who reside on the court of the supreme court of the "......"? What court are you in reality? Who do you really answer to? What does your flag that you fly really look like? Is it red, does it have a hammer on it? What about that farming tool that you incorporate into your flag, I've always seen that tool to imply anything but farming. For me it embodies the farming/harvesting of human rights and human beings around the world.
What are you really after?
The God of America, He is watching you. As are the people of America. We are indeed a God fearing nation, people who are keenly aware of a fox lurking around in the hen house, a wolf, seeking whom it may devour.
God is watching you...
So now a town/city/county/state can condemn anyone's private property to build a Wal-mart?
