Crisis after crisis after crisis . .

============================

It was a home, Cristofaro said, that his father had lovingly surrounded with fruit trees, grapevines, yews and rhododendrons.

Today it is a parking lot.

Bump

[EagleUSA]

Oh boy, the battle starts. Will it be like Jan-The-Man Reno, at Waco, with 24 hour rap music to drive them out?? Will they burn down the houses with the people in them?? How is BIG BROTHER going to carry out their socialist oppressive agenda??

Mad? You bet.

[Calpernia]

Does this ruling render my mortgage null and void?

[Happy2BMe]

Squatters and criminals on their own propety . .

(What happens to a nation when private citizen's property rights are thrown to the wind on the whim of a ruling oligarchy?)

=======================================

" “Those justices made the wrong decision,” Cristofaro said. “Four of them protected our property rights; five threw them out the door. I hope their property is chosen next for eminent domain so they know what it's like to be thrown out into the street.”

And even though, after six years of fighting the city, the group seemed to have run low on options, several promised that they would never leave.

========================================

High court's property decision stirs anger

Ruling triggers anger, worry in Lee[County] (Cities drooling over eminent domain)

This is serious. Our President and Congressional leaders should speak up very forcefully against this ruling. There is no more outrageous ruling so far than this one. It goes completely against the Constitution. If they don't speak up now, when will they do it? Most Americans are not aware of this outrage and should be told at every opportunity. We will not be able to put judges in the Supreme Court who respect the Constitution until people demand it in no uncertain terms. Mr. President, it is now or never. If you do not use the bully pulpit now, you will be partly to blame for the American people not knowing what's going on.

What a disgrace

[camle]

yet New Londoners keep electing these people...

I'm reminded of the first scene in Hitchikers Guide...

[RightWhale]

Sure are a lot of threads.

Amazing considering that nothing happened.

[oblomov]

Hmmmm... it sure would be hard to build a mall on an EPA superfund site.

[easonc52]

And unfortunately, it could get worse.

[lilylangtree]

Just goes to show members of SCOTUS aren't worth saving. Down with SCOTUS!

Today it is a parking lot.

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

[Humidston]

Our government has turned into a gigantic hydra, devouring everything in its path.

WAKE UP AMERICA!

[Enterprise]

"paved paradise, put up a parking lot."

[Lexington Green]

The Constitution is dead. Welcome to your tyranny.

[montag813]

24 HOURS SINCE THE RULING.

AMERICA IS OUTRAGED.

WHERE IS PRESIDENT BUSH?

NOT A WORD.

[Happy2BMe]

"Property Rights" - pings.

[kittymyrib]

If life were fair, the greedy Pfizer CEO and the mayor and city councilmen of New London should have to carry out these owners in front of the Fox News cameras. Instead, they'll order the government's paid enforcers to do the dirty work. I'm glad no one in our family is a cop. The sickening jobs cops do these days, like arresting the Christian children at Terri's hospice, make one wonder if there is anything they won't do for a paycheck.
