The rule of five has raised its ugly, ignorant cranium again. This time five dopes in robes, former ambulance chasers all, have decide the town council can seize the house that has been in your family for over two hundred years at market value, then turn around and sell it at great profit to the town McDonald’s franchisers. The dopes in robes used the Fifth Amendment, which allows governments to take property by eminent domain, as long as just compensation is paid, as cover. The dopes were exposed as dopes because these uses have always been understood to be necessary government-provided infrastructure such as hospitals or roads. Taking an owner’s home so that someone else can build a nicer home is an obscene interpretation of the Fifth Amendment.
With this horrible decision, the unelected dopes have decided that increasing the tax base also could be covered under eminent domain. That means that your house now goes to the highest bidder. This is an unbelievable decision. The town council, petty as town councils often are, can decide that the home of a council critic needs to be raised so that the council president can build a bigger home on the lot thereby giving the town additional revenue. The only recourse left now is what constitutes just compensation.
Elections are important. Elections are what shape our judiciary. The judiciary is now shaping the country. Democrats are reversing the election through the filibuster of Bush’s judicial nominations. The mid-term election may be as important as any our nation has held. One more drubbing at the polls may turn Dems away from their moonbat base and make a decent guy like Liebermann look appealing again.
