This court ruling is that IF your local government allows private eminent domain then it is legal.

That being the case if your community VOTES to have or HAS laws that already state you cannot do that....... then that law is upheld also.

So if your area doesn't have a law protecting you, go out get petitions signed and get it on the ballot and vote to pass it. That way you have nothing to worry about.

Blaming the SC is freaking easy and what the Right wants so that they have a rubber stamp in all 3 branches and can do whatever they want.

The Right finds fault in every ruling now because THEY want public opinion to hate the SC and blame the SC for everything.

The 10 Commandment ruling.............. what was wrong with that .... truly what was wrong with it? Constitutionally the government CANNOT show favoritism to one religion over another. Putting the 10 Commandments up and then other Judeo Christian symbols without any other religion represented is in fact government showing favoritism toward a religion.

They did not say a private company could not have walls with nothing but religious artifacts on them..... just government buildings..... and yet the Right wants you to believe the SC is just whacked out and trying to take God out of everything.

So why are they playing to the fears of the people? Why are they making these rulings more than what they truly are? One has to truly wonder.
