I just want to know who the five "liberals" are on the Supreme Court? Why did they appoint Bush President in 2000? As far as the decison goes - I don't like it either. I think local communities should be able to overrule individuals for the common good, but I think this decision will just let local deep pocket Republican RE developers buy individual's houses and demolish them in conjunction with their bribed, corrupt local Republican officials for their mutual profit. Like THIS Republican RE deal: "The amusing case of the congressman whose house was bought by the founder of a defense firm for $700,000 more than it was worth is being exceptionally well-reported by the congressman's hometown paper, the San Diego Union-Tribune. You will not be amazed to learn the congressman in question (Randy Cunningham) oversees the committee that grants contracts to that very defense firm. The story gets better by the day -- the congressman lives on a yacht in D.C. owned by the defense contractor, and employees of the defense firm say they were threatened with firing if they did not give to the company PAC. Well shut my mouth!" --Molly Ivins
