So, you can see how this law is going to be ABUSED.

Oh, yes, I can see that very well. I think this is one of the worst S.Ct. opinions in many years.

Yesterday Neal Cavuto had a couple of guys commenting on it. The one who favored it said "this is great for capitalism." The other one said, "in a free market, you pay for what you want to buy, and if the seller won't sell, you raise the offer. This is not capitalism, it's the Five Finger Discount."

Our Local paper, the Ft. Lauderdale Sun Sentinel is carrying the SC decision on the front page. Much concern.

According to what I saw on TV this morning, Florida is one of eight states that have laws constraining eminent domain so maybe you're covered.

Well, guess we need to be more careful whom we elect to our city councils. Need to ask these rascals precisely where they stand on the issue, and only elect people who appreciate the sanctity if private property.
