Property Rights

The Supreme Court can be overridden by a two-thirds majority in Congress. Please contact your congressmen. If you don't have their e-mail, you can find it here. As rbj points out: You also need 3/4 of the states to change the Constitution. But why do something that will check government power when there's the, um, burning issue of flag desecration. It's probably more realistic to ratchet up pressure on state and local legislators to tighten up restrictions on local power of eminent domain. Tom Carroll is putting together “a flesh and blood support group composed of those close enough to help” the homeowners in New London. He’s posted a rough plan of action here. I mentioned yesterday that I’m interested in forming a cyber support group for the New Londoners who are planning a show of civil disobedience—and the first step is to move such an impulse beyond the realm of the theoretical. With Tom’s help, let’s do just that. Posted by Bill at June 24, 2005 12:12 PM | TrackBack (2) CommentsYou also need 3/4 of the states to change the Constitution.

Posted by: floridacracker I'm not too keen on amending the constitution, but this issue would be worth it. It may be too late though, I just saw the Constitution's obit. Posted by: G. Hamid A tamer (and likely more effective) way to take action to mitigate the effects of Kelo: join the Castle Coalition (CastleCoalition.org). The usual disclaimer: my only affiliation is the modest $ I've contributed over the years. Posted by: Scott Lawton When I found my utopian moon settlement, all of the biological waste is going to be ejected straight at the Supreme Court building. Posted by: Beck |
