Alito: We should not look to foreign law to interpret our own constitution.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

The Sky Is Falling! The Sky Is Falling!

[Jrabbit]

Love it!

Coburn bringing up using foreign law....Scottish law expert Specter will be saddened.

[mewzilla]

Thanks for the info! Did someone just use it a minute ago?

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

that might result in a super secret suspension.

[Pyro7480]

Alito says we shouldn't use foreign law in deciding cases. YES!

[GeorgiaDawg]

I don't know, but I get annoyed when I hear them talk about "framers"...they didn't "frame" it, they wrote the damn thing. Activist judges try to frame it.

[retrokitten]

Especially in central and southern Il....we cannot compete with northern Il and the Daley regime.....

We can't even do it in Du Page County, so I can't even imagine the frustration outside the Chicago metro area.

I dream of a day we move out of IL for good.

lol

Good for Brownback. His last point was emminent domain abuse!

Senator Sam is the Man!!!!

[saveliberty]

super duper secret suspension?

[saveliberty]

As will Boston native, Justice Breyer.

[OldFriend]

The USSC was affirming the law in Connecticut as it pertains to Kelo. Many states have the same laws on their books and use it mostly to tear down blighted areas. It has been abused, but rarely will a state ban eminent domain for the obvious reason that it brings dollars to the state.

Alito: We should not look to foreign law to interpret our own constitution.

Gee, now there's a thought :)

How did that go over?

[Condor51]

***Has anyone over the last couple of days said anything about Kelo? Or have both parties connived to keep their yaps shut?***

Yes, Sen Brownback just brought it up. In his closing sentence he said he 'hoped it would be revisited'. His meaning was obvious.

[Pyro7480]

Coburn mentions Durbin was pro-life. GO COBURN!

[sageb1]

I love it! Durbin was pro-life for 45 years!

[jneesy]

called durbin on his abortion stance! ROFLMAO!!!!

[jackv]

Hahaha! Well said, Coburn!!

[Clint N. Suhks]

Hypocrite Durbin has left the building?
