The issue isn't whether the ruling was voted for by liberal or
conservative justices, the issue is that the government now says its OK
for a private developer to pressure local politicians to boot you out
of your home or business, and that doing so is OK if the politician can
make a case that the private developer's use of your land would be
better for the "public good."

Isn't the "public good" a rallying cry for socialists and communists?




This is consistent with the erosion of rights in all areas of society
during the last several years.

No it's not. Erosion of private rights in order to protect individuals from
harm is a lot different from erosion of private rights in order to collect
more in property taxes.




Condeming private property for the purpose of awarding it to another
private owner is pure BS regardless of the political bent of he
justices that supported it.

I agree. And if you and I agree on a topic, then passing a bipartisan bill
in Congress should be easy as pie.
