Thursday’s decision by the Supreme Court that any government body can take your home and give it to a developer is disgraceful and an embarassment to anyone who has ever claimed that Americans are a free people.
When I got to work this morning, I asked Fred—the 61-year old retired Marine Master Sergeant that I share an office with—what he thought about the decision. ‘Someone’s going to get shot’, was Fred’s straight answer.”

Property taxes are bad enough, forcing you to rent your land from local government, and allowing them to take the land anytime you fail to pay. So you were already renting from the government. But until now, if you paid those taxes, in most cases, you couldn’t be driven out. Not so anymore. Now any developer and city council that decide they want your most valuable possession, your home and property, can take it by force. I’m enraged and disgusted by this decision.
It was a close call, with 5 traitorous justices making a decision that robs millions of Americans of the dearly held principle that a man’s home is his castle. I don’t use the term traitor lightly, but it is the only one that fits here. These five human beings are saying it’s OK for government to seize private property merely because it wants too. I thought theft was illegal. These traitors say otherwise.
I might as well make a list:
Traitor #1 – John Paul Stevens
Traitor #2 – Anthony Kennedy
Traitor #3 – Stephen G. Breyer
Traitor #4 – David A. Souter
Traitor #5 – Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Read the bios of your non-elected overlords, these five betrayers of the American ideal that any American property owner, no matter how weak or poor, is secure in his or her property. They’re nothing but enablers for greed and theft. If it were up to me, they would be replaced immediately and barred from further “public service.”
IO Error’s take on the decision.
Liberty for Sale speaks out.
Urban Grounds thinks someone’s going to get shot.
Join the Castle Coalition now and fight the government robbers who want to invade your domain.
If some things are worth dying for, and I think they are, property rights are on the list of those things. SCOTUS, you are being warned by many voices, and should listen carefully before you write a check you cannot cash. Why, oh why, are fools lining up in droves to help break down freedoms that made America a beacon for the rest of humanity? Something’s gonna give, and soon. A nation divided cannot stand, and we’re setting ourselves up for a nasty fall.
