Supreme Court is out of control

Is their goal to crush civil liberties and
stomp on the poor?

Lately, they have:

- Ruled to ban marijuana for cancer patients

- Allowed police to use drug-sniffing dogs to check out
any car they stop for a traffic violation
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...NGIMAVRML1.DTL

- And today, they ruled that Cities May Seize Homes
(of course, poor peoples' houses, not the mansions of the rich)

Finish the story. The supreme idiots ruled that Cities may seize peoples'
homes under 'eminent domain' for such "public" uses as condominiums,
beachfront resort/hotels, housing developments (never mind that they tore
one down to build a new one). Oh, and the ruling further states that it
doesn't matter what condition the seized houses are in. Buy a 10-year-old
house in perfect condition one day, it can be seized and torn down the next.
Of course, you will be paid 50% of it's fair market value for your
inconvenience. Never mind that you paid 100% of it's fair market value, or
that you might still owe more than the city paid you for it. -Dave

This is a stupid ruling that should get bipartisan support in congress and
senate to act. As someone was saying, any business will bring in more tax
revenue than a home. We are all at risk (especially the folks that own homes
around lakes, rivers or other scenic locales). I dont think there is a
single democrat, republican and libertarian that would agree with this
ruling unless they have something personal to gain by it.

To make us poor, to rule over us with complete power.

The rich have the resources to fight government, the poor do not.

Example, two expressway projects yet to get off the ground. The northern
extension of IL53 and the extension of I355 (really the same expressway
at different ends) On the north end, the rich still live in their homes
are are still fighting the development. In the south, the not rich were
moved out and their homes destroyed years ago.

In any case, the paranoia I have been accused of is coming to pass.

I don't see any reason for either Ds or Rs to oppose this. They benefit
from it. They are in power. They get the control over people's property.

There are a number of angles. The first is that of dependence. Now
elections may determine wether or not the government takes you home.
That's a great way to hold on to or gain power. Also, **** off government
and you could find your home taken. It's power.

Now there are the favors and such this offers up. Now someone seeking
office can promise a backer someone else's property as compensation for
support in an election. The same can be done to reward friends and punish
enemies.

Outright monitary profit for government has already been mentioned.

Now that aside, there are forces on the left that wish to dictate what
people can do with their property or just outright take control of it in
the name of the collective. That they know what is best and should
determine land use for everyone else and who gets to live where.

I would assume there are similiar control freaks on the right who may
operate under different motivations for the same result. Ones who would
like to see the return of such things as corporate owned housing etc that
basically make the worker forever dependent upon the company like a slave.

That's nothing new. We've always been allowed to run our dogs around any
car for any reason because the air around a person's car is public.

Don't count on it.

Especially if the rich get a desire for your property in a scenic locale.
IIRC, didn't the planned development in new london include "upscale
(translation: rich people only) housing?" What a nice way to get all that
riff-raff off their precious waterfront.

I'm sure the dems and the repubs just love that ruling as it increases
government's power so that they can use it to further their agendas (more
govermnent control for the dems, make sure no riff-raff stands in the way
of business for the repubs). Of course, if the Libertarians are true to
their professed philosophy, they are as sickened by this ruling as the
rest of us are...

The Supremes are not idiots. They know exactly what they're doing.
People need to realize that our govt and both political parties don't
give two ****s about ordinary americans. Democracy is a hoax and has
been for decades.

I wonder if it was the same idiots for the dog sniffing who voted for the
seizure of property?
