Treat them like Native Americans

Kelo et al v. City of New London, 04-108 Click on that link and find out what kind of ludicrous decision the supreme court made today. It is insanity. The decision won't stand for long, people won't let it. I can't believe they would ever make a decision like that. Especially considering the recent uprooting in Zimbabwe. The have essentially given the state government the same power to do what they are doing in Zimbabwe. Ok maybe on the surface it is not as discriminatory or for the same reasons but now anyone with money and influence can legally remove people from property as long as the give them "just compenstation". Ha "just compenstation" yeah right. I shit my pants when I read this. I thought what the fuck this has to be a joke. If there is anything that crosses bounds of partisianship and is part of the foundation of The Constitution it is right to property (except for Native Americans). Ok so the original framers had a different definition of who had the rights to property but over the last 200 years or so it has become recognized as a right that can't be taken away. Weird. There is no way this stands. As soon as some rich developers or corporation tried to have a city pull some kind of garbage like that it will blowup.
