#1 I know some urban planners. As individuals they are decent human beings who really think they're doing the best thing for their communities. As a group they have a contempt for homeowners and small businesspeople that is breathtaking. They think they know what's best for their community and they are contemptuous of those who don't defer to their opinion. Before this ruling they at least had to jump through some hoops to act on their contempt, but now they will do what they want, when they want, and nothing will stop them. Be very, very afraid.

#2 Spot-on, Hey.

I wonder what the 5 Justices will say when the first physical confrontation occurs - the first gunbattle, for instance. Think they'll feel anything? Anything at all when John Q. Citizen, lifelong resident of Anytown, USA, is killed by Sheriff's deputies forced by Court Order to remove him from his "condemned" property so Engulf & Devour can put up a strip center with an Albertson's and a Starbucks as anchors?

#3 Chalk up another victory for American leftists.

The SCOTUS Kelo ruling is simply another slip on the slope to making private property, arguably the basis for all other citizen's rights, a relic of future history.

The commie/socialist creed in action!

#5 I know it will be difficult, because most of us actually have jobs and can't attend every demonstration or papier-machÃ© puppet workshop, but this is definitely a case where conservatives and libertarians need to chain themselves together in front of the bulldozers!
