Write your congresscritter today - click here. Tell them that either Kelo vs. New London will not stand ... or else you'll be voting for someone else next time. I've never advocated messing with our precious Constitution before, but today is the day. We need to mobilize now!

What makes you think Bush opposes the SC ruling.

That is my concern. Silence reveals much.

From "My City Was Gone" - Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders (Rush Limbaugh theme song)

"I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY CITY WAS GONE
THERE WAS NO TRAIN STATION
THERE WAS NO DOWNTOWN
SOUTH HOWARD HAD DISAPPEARED
ALL MY FAVORITE PLACES
MY CITY HAD BEEN PULLED DOWN
REDUCED TO PARKING SPACES

A, O, WAY TO GO OHIO"

WELL I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY FAMILY WAS GONE
I STOOD ON THE BACK PORCH
THERE WAS NOBODY HOME
I WAS STUNNED AND AMAZED
MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
SLOWLY SWIRLED PAST
LIKE THE WIND THROUGH THE TREES
A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO

WELL I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY PRETTY COUNTRYSIDE
HAD BEEN PAVED DOWN THE MIDDLE
BY A GOVERNMENT THAT HAD NO PRIDE

THE FARMS OF OHIO
HAD BEEN REPLACED BY SHOPPING MALLS

AND MUZAK FILLED THE AIR
FROM SENECA TO CUYAHOGA FALLS
SAID, A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO "

Coming soon to lots of American Cities.

"The Constitution is dead. Welcome to your tyranny"

It's no different than what Jeb Bush tried to do in Florida when he enacted "Terri's Law". While the Terri people cheered, they never bothered to look, THINK and realize that Jeb Bush had stripped them of their constitutional rights and freedoms, and the right to privacy guaranteed in Florida state law. Fortunately it was later overturned. Just imagine how many aren't and end up like this. People DO have to WAKE UP and DEMAND that the government do what it's supposed to do, protect our constitution. There are all sorts of violations of the constitution, most of them put in place by Democrats, but violations none the less, such as treaties and agreements with the UN. The UN has NO jurisdiction in America, and has NO business influencing any laws or activities, property rights etc. in this country.

I called my entire congressional delegation this morning. This is absolutely outrageous and it has to stop.

I also wrote a letter to the 5 idiots that thought this decision was right. I DEMANDED their immediate resignation. Not that it will do any good.

24 HOURS SINCE THE RULING.
AMERICA IS OUTRAGED.

WHERE IS PRESIDENT BUSH?



NOT A WORD.


----

There's not much he can say, since a lot of homes were condemned so he could build a new baseball park in Arlington Texas. The Rats would be all over that. He should have Cheney or someone do some butt kicking, though

Congress has NO POWER. The black robed dictators have taken all the power to themselves.

Congress has no inclination to defend rights. They have the power, not the will.

So, which side attacked the Middle Class with this ruling?

Say goodbuy to the the constitution because it is now gone. Not a single part of it is left intact. We no longer have a free nation. The CEO and board of directors has now become the lord of his kingdom and can evict anyone he wants to for the sake of improving his own land holdings buy the power of his money and lawyers. That is what happens when idiots forget to just read and follow the constitution and instead interpret what they want it to say.

Not in blue states. You are not even allowed to fire a gun if someone forces there way into your home.

Our President and Congressional leaders should speak up very forcefully against this ruling.

I would be surprised if they did. Country club Republicans never disagree with establishment decisions. Hand the senator a nine iron.

Why do you think they have been pushing to ban .50 calibers? The crapola about 'terror' and taking down aircraft is just cover for the realization that when 'altering or abolishing' kicks in, Armored Limosines will offer zero protection from a 50.

They know that 'voting from the rooftops' will happen.

Well this same group trashed the free press provision of the 1st last year not to mention numerous anti freedom of religion rulings over the years. The Patriot Act eviscerates the 4th and the 5th and is just waiting for a USSC ruling to codify it.

Wake up people the Bill of Rights is on very shaking ground in this Country.

"What makes you think Bush opposes the SC ruling."

A better question is, what makes people think Bush CAN do anything? He can't use executive order to overturn a judgement, that's against the rules too, separation of powers. Only a higher court can do that. What he CAN do is order a constitutional amendment strengthening the intended wording, but still that will not overturn the judgement made, and the people who lost out because of it.

whoops - that was only a gallon of acetone

That's nothing.

Wait until some despondent homeowner goes down to the local mosque and asks Mohammad for help.

There's the problem, eh?

The mentality that the 'rulers' 'allow' the peons to do this or that.

It is beyond time to remind these @$$holes who really is in charge under our form of government.

What we need to do is a "minuteman" response to stand with these people in support. Safety in numbers

I was thinking the same thing. A giant sit-in would hopefully make a point.

How? I hear a lot of crappola about 'we elected these tyrants'. Freepers forget all the voter fraud threads we tracked here at FR. These tyrants are selected, not elected.

Emails, phone calls, letters to the editors get ignored. At protests, people that get recognized by these tyrants end up losing their jobs.

I'm all for action. But when I put people on the spot and ask WHAT can we do, I hear crickets.

Maybe it's time for a massive peaceful demonstration to stand with these embattled homeowners to show support for these embattled homeowners. The outrage against this tyranical supreme court decision will bring thousands to support these people. Maybe the politicians will think twice.
