Another step toward tyranny

The Supreme Court weakened private property rights by its ruling of Kelo v. City of New London. Justice Scalia dissented, commenting, “You can take from A and give to B if B pays more taxes?” George Will says, “That is the logic of the opinion written by Justice John Paul Stevens and joined by justices Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.”

And I thought leftists were for the little guys.

UPDATE: The Castle Coalition is a good place to start in fighting back this outrageous encroachment of private property and freedom.

UPDATE 2005-07-12: The Lost Liberty Hotel project aims to develop a hotel in the town of Weare, New Hampshire. Obviously, this has the potential of increasing tax revenues for the town, since Justice David Souter’s house isn’t doing much these days.
