OT- More Slimebags That Need Killing
The speculators & the corrupt politicians and judges that are their enablers need to get what's coming to them. ======================== Kelo: City Extorts 'Back Rent' from Homeowners 2005-08-21 This Land Was Your Land: Real estate speculator wants back rent from Connecticut homeowners whose land he stole. In the adding insult to injury category, the city officials that triumphed over a group of Connecticut homeowners in a landmark Supreme Court property-rights case are expecting those residents to pay the local government rent dating back to the year 2000. The June 23 Supreme Court ruling in Kelo v. City of New London gave the town the approval to seize the residents' homes and transfer them to a real estate speculator for demolition and replacement with a an office complex, luxury hotel and condominiums. In the highly controversial decision, the justices (sic) ruled 5-4 that the economic development resulting from the eminent domain action qualified as "public use" under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. The city now says that it won his case, the homeowners actually have been living on city property since 2000 when it first began condemnation procedures against them, and so they must pay back rent -- to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Members of the city's government did not reveal how much the anonymous speculator paid them in the land-confiscation scheme. http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=45851 "Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules. Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner |

And you still think these monied assholes are *the* best of all possible governments? Ken. |

If you think you can do so and get away with it, or would do so without regard to penalty, then do it. |

Given that most city fathers and bureaucrats in the area in question tend to be Democrats...like most Union knee breakers...and the Daleys... Gunner "Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.

That's a pretty chicken**** response The problem is the local government there. It would be interesting to determine the Dem/Rep makeup, and how they are positioned on this. I'd bet good money Democrats are well represented. |
