Supreme Court Tramples Fourth and Fifth Amendments

The U.S. Supreme court has now ruled that if the government feels like it, they can seize your house.

We're not talking eminent domain, where the seizure is for public use, but for the profit of economic interestes...and ultimately of those state and local governments which will stand to gain from the tax revenue generated by new businesses. A CLEAR conflict of interest!

The usual suspects (Stevens, Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg and Breyer) voted once again to trash the Constitution.

The Fourth Amendmente says "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses...against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated..."

The Fifth says, "No person shall be...deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

As Judge O'Connor said, on the right side (this time): "Any property may now be taken for the benefit of another private party, but the fallout from this decision will not be random," O'Connor wrote. "The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate influence and power in the political process, including large corporations and development firms."

In essense, the Supreme Court today threw out the 4th and 5th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution in favor of Plank #1 of the Communist Manifesto: Abolition of property in land and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.

When are the American people going to realize the Left has a bullseye on everything they hold dear and hold these despots accountable?
