Tommy,
Wanna reconsider that "liberals own this idea" ?? As I said, there
were many liberals who spoke out about this as a horrible decision.
Liberals were far from united. Here's one example and my last post
on the topic. (Although I think that as far as secondary topics,
this one hits as close to Asbury Park as any political topic ever could)
Homeowners Ask U.S. Supreme Court: Rehear Eminent Domain Case
Washington, D.C.-The U.S. Supreme Court has one final chance to
correct one of its most-despised decisions in recent memory-its
ruling in Kelo v. City of New London, which allows the use of eminent
domain for private development. Today the Institute for Justice will
file a petition for rehearing on behalf of New London, Conn.,
homeowners asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider its 5-4 ruling
from June 23 that has already opened up the floodgates to eminent
domain abuse.
“We will be the first to admit that our chances of success with this
motion are extremely small, but if there is any case that deserves to
reheard by the Supreme Court, it is the Kelo case,” said Scott
Bullock, senior attorney at the Washington, D.C.-based Institute for
Justice. “This is the worst Supreme Court decision in years.
Hopefully the Court will see the abuse of power that it has unleashed
and will reconsider its misguided and dangerous opinion.”
