It merely requires that it be for “public use.”

Public use is just what it sounds like. Roads, parks, government buildings, pretty much anything that falls under general welfare. That means it benefits everyone because everyone can use it. That doesn’t mean everyone will; it means everyone can. And it doesn’t mean a private business.

So, if your house is in the direct path of a proposed road (and there is no way to re-route the road) then you are required to give up your property if the government demands it. However, you will be “justly compensated” for it; that is, whatever you could have sold it for.

The Kelo decision flies in the face of this. So, like Juilliard v. Greenman, the Supreme Court is not above making a decision that will have negative effects on every citizen forever.

Now we’re going to get two young wackadoodle socialists to replace the two old wackadoole socialists on the court.

I used to know that my children had a future that included freedom. With the B.O. as president, I just hope the misery they have to suffer will be tolerable until their children can rid this country of socialism.

Since the preservation of human life is always more important than things, there are instances where property rights must yield to other principles.

But the 5th amendment does not require that the property be taken to preserve human life. It merely requires that it be for “public use.” Is that part of natural law?

This election was really about control of the Surpreme Court, but the Democratic Socialists did an effective job of making the election be about the enonomy.

Wonder if she will have an 11th hour IRS Check sent in for something she owes. Lord Knows Obama’s track record on appointments has had that one tax evasion/cheat issue as a consistent thing lately.

Naa, she’s paid her taxes which is why she’ll never get the nod!!!

Another good reminder why it is a great thing that Anuzis did not get RNC chair. If he can’t unseat Granholm, who has presided over nothing but failure, then I wouldn’t even dare imagine how he would fare come mid-term elections.

A-freakin’-men

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama plans to make his first trip to the presidential retreat at Camp David this weekend.

After 2 weeks the child needs a break..somebody helps us! He is all show and no go!

t’s a forced exchange. Are forced exchanges part of the natural law?

If it was truly an exchange, there would be no need for the government to take it – they would just exchange it on the market.

Just compensation is an exchange of property and not a denial.

Not if you don’t want what they are offering. That is not an exchange in any meaningful sense.
