“as the court will look at ACTUAL CONTROVERSY, not hypotheticals or “what ifs”.”
Did you even read my entire post? I cited an ACTUAL CONTROVERSY in my backyard — but unfortunately for the homeowners, the court has already decided that the religious freedom rights of the people operating the church/synagogue/mosque trump all the rights of all the other homeowners combined.
And the court is wrong, because all the rights Americans enjoy, including those of religious freedom, derive from property rights.
Put it another way: if there is no right to property, there is no freedom of religion. And Mr. Jefferson backs me up on this.
OK, I admit I didn’t read your entire post. Now that I read the rest, I can say this: you are even more wrong than I thought.
Ahhh, yes, the old “property values” argument.
Tell ya what. Let’s really keep property values high.
No blacks.
No hispanics.
Jews are OK because they usually have money...
If you are more worried about keeping your nickle than you are about unalienable rights, you might be in the wrong place here on FR...
