Kelo v New London
|
The Supreme Court has ruled (Kelo v New London)
that the government can seize your property by law, and sell it to
another private party, for no better reason than wanting more tax
revenue ("promoting economic development... persuant to a development
plan") from that property than you are currently paying them.
This is clearly contrary to the Constitutional langauge regarding the eminent domain power in the 5th Amendment: "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." As Scalia put it, we are "free at last, free at last..." from the Constitutional chains that bound our government, that is. And didn't someone else try that "centrally planned economy" idea recently? And fail miserably? I'm seeing red...
