Eminent Domain update from congress; some guys might actually get it (Cornyn, DeLay). Wonders never cease.
Fun ED stuff; sorry I forgot you on the first ping.
You really think Our Masters in the Supreme Court will be stopped by a mere law, when they have divined otherwise from the Constitution?
Congress has to pass legislation to enforce an already existing amendment? That's essentially saying Congress recognizes the Constitution as irrelevant so they end up making more redundant laws.
I know this may sound as a novel idea but let's enforce the laws we have by removing those who violate the Constitution!
How about a constitutional amendment?
Well, what do courts in the Netherlands say about Eminent Domain?
They just did away with the Fifth Amendment; how about daring them to come and take it?
In case folks want to encourage the Weare, N.H., selectmen who have the power to take Judge Souter's house by eminent domain so that it can be replaced by a higher-tax-paying hotel, here are the Selectmen's addresses.
Let's all plan our vacations to the Lost Liberty Hotel

Yeah, I'm surprised at Cornyn. I thought he was the new Phil Gramm. "Whatever Money wants......"
DeLay is showing us that, as a former businessman, he's more conservative and constitutionalist than he is ex-businessman. Interesting. No wonder the Houston Chronicle hates his guts.
I've been to the museums; the founders were little guys.
I wonder when they stand for reelection -- if they don't Get It pretty quick, it should be an interesting New Hampshire campaign to follow.
LG, DeLay was a SMALL businessman. That's the difference. Not all businessmen are out to screw you.
But yes, I am pleasantly surprised by Cornyn. After amnesty, he was due for a good move.
We are the only ones who can convince them that we are not playing their game anymore.
Want re-election? Then listen to the people.
Blah blah blah. Just get it done, GOP.
Yeah, you are right. The founders are big in my eyes. The constitution was inspired and established the liberty we have today. My debt to them is huge. We stand on their shoulders and gaze at an unlimited future. If you travel abroad, when you return here, you can smell the freedom. Take that, any of you intellectuals claiming they were hay seeds tramping manure, unable to appreciate nuance and that some guy like Churchill from Colorado could do better.
The Supreme Court has re-interpretated the Constitution...These are the same people that previously ruled by re-interpretation that the Constitution is a 'living document' meaning it can be changed to fit the times...
Now that they control what the Constitution means, any law they don't like coming from Congress can and will be deemed unConstitutional...
Congress is wasting their time and millions in taxpayer money coming up with new laws to make an end run around the 'new' eminant domain ruling...
Nothing short of impeachment will have any affect...And they're too gutless to try that maneuver...
You're right. But they'll waste no time patting themselves on the back for "trying" and telling us they've "earned" our vote.
