WorldNetDaily: Government tyrants get stamp of approval: "the recent Supreme Court decision has essentially given its backing to city governments becoming tyrants – unrestrained power in allowing municipalities to seize private property to make way for commercial development."

For many if not most Americans this ruling will go right over their heads, until it's too late. I've traditionally sided with the idea that government and the courts will ultimately do the right thing. The furor over the Patriot Act had me in the government’s corner siding with the necessity of taking exceptional measures because these are exceptional times. Trusting the system and the courts would reign in abuses. But I'm starting to be concerned.

The Terri Schiavo case where the justice seemed to fail her and her family was but a shot over the bow. Failing to take an unblinking look at the serious questions surrounding that obviously murky situation was an utter failure to protect the rights of the weak in our society.

The seeming insatiable hunger spending that used to be limited to the liberals and Democrats has now turned into a ravenous feasting of uncontrollable gluttony at the expense of the American people.

Couple the failure of the judicial to protect the rights of the week with the gluttony of government spending and what do you end up with? The answer is found in last Thursdays ruling by the court.

Only eight states, Washington, Montana, Illinois, Kentucky, Arkansas, Maine, South Carolina and Florida, where laws have been on the books protecting the rights of property owners, all but prohibiting eminent domain. But given this ruling and the ever increasing hunger of states and municipalities for revenues, look for legislation to be introduced to overturn those laws.

They tried it last year in Florida but the bill was killed through the efforts of Libertarians, who I often disagree with. I don't expect that to be the end of the issue here. Time after time those who think they can do more with our private property than we can will seek way to take it away from us...now with the approval of the Supreme Court.

It looks like Zimbabwe president Mugabe is on the cutting edge of what is about to become US government policy, if they don't agree with you, take their property. Look out churches, conservative organizations, liberal organizations, and advocacy groups. Depending on who is in power, your assets will be next.
