Homes may be 'taken' for private projects
Justices: Local governments can give OK if it's for public good

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments
may
seize people's homes and businesses - even against their will - for
private
economic development.

It was a decision fraught with huge implications for a country with many
areas, particularly the rapidly growing urban and suburban areas, facing
countervailing pressures of development and property ownership rights.

As a result, cities now have wide power to bulldoze residences for
projects
such as shopping malls and hotel complexes in order to generate tax
revenue.


Yep, and it's horrendous.




Justice John Paul Stevens wrote for the majority. He was joined by
Justice Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen
Breyer.

Except for Kennedy, it's the same 4 idiots who sided with Gore in 2000.
"It Takes a Village" to steal your home.





Yep. They decided to rewrite the Constitution. Too bad we can't vote they
clowns out of office.
