I wouldn’t want to live in a country where it was ok to plop a construction battalion down on someone’s property and start building without due process of eminent domain having taken place.

Sadly, our esteemed Supreme Court (the one who just protected child rapists and would-be rapists everywhere in this country), has already spoken on this, too, not long ago. I am losing all faith in the justice system of this country.

… take all of the construction units of the military and put them on the border for field exercises … each unit has a responsibility to build a section of fence during their time there …

Seriously, it’s very disturbing that anyone could think even for a moment that that’s acceptable procedure in the US.

The people I know are not happy with the damages they’ve been offered by ACE for their house, which will be fenced off on the Mexican side of the fence, and they also think they’re getting cheated on what they’ve been offered on the eight acres of land that was condemned for the fence.

Right now their motto is “You Report, We decide”

What do you guys think? This decision could be out anytime now….

I like that idea – but makes too much sense for the Federal government to put into action.

Now that’s clever!

It’s a shame this story hasn’t gotten any notice here.

I’m glad to see a legislator who hasn’t forgotten what government should (and shouldn’t) be.

BHO will set precedence by signing a federal bill for abortion thereby usurping state rights to legislate. Then, bye-bye 2nd Amendment.

I agree, but what I’d like to know is how does the Federal government justify such a bill? What happened to our right to “life, liberty, etc…”, as opposed to the nonexistent “right to kill a child”? I’m not a Constitutional expert, but I thought the Fed’s powers were limited to declaring war and regulating matters of interstate commerce?

A brief one-page order from the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington directed military officials to either “release or transfer Parhat, or to expeditiously hold a new [military] tribunal.”

He isn’t sprung yet, but being a Chinese citizen attending an al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan and fighting for the Taleban does not an unlawful enemy combatant make, apparently.

A fence here is racist and baaaaaaaaaaad remember? We cannot protect our sovereignty as that would be showing us for the “cowboys” we are.

Ahhhhhh, if only Americans were the cowboys the left thinks they are life would be so much nicer.
