Eminent Domain goes to Congress
Permalink Closed


WASHINGTON - The Connecticut woman whose case led to the Supreme Court decision allowing local governments to take homes for private development asked senators Tuesday to end the federal government’s involvement in such seizures.

“I sincerely hope that Congress will do what judges and local legislators so far have refused to do for me and for thousands of people like me across the nation: protect our homes,” Susette Kelo told the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The panel is considering one of several congressional proposals that would bar federal money from construction projects that benefit from the Supreme Court ruling.

This, in my opinion, is one of the most important court cases of our time. More important than title IX. More important than Roe V. Wade.

I can make more money with the land Congress sits on right now. I hereby invoke Eminent Domain on Washington D.C.  I'm going to tear down Congress and put up an advice booth or a lemonade stand. Even if I only make 1 dollar, it will benefit the community more than the trillions they blatantly waste every year.
