"We're really blessed in this country to have the Judeo-Christian tradition of wanting to love each other and help each other have better lives and to enjoy life and be good to each other. As opposed to the tradition of some Islamofascist localities where they do the reverse - sending their own children off to be blown up."

    Supreme Court Makes a Power Grab

    What kind of madness is this?

    WASHINGTON (AP)——The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments may seize people’s homes and businesses—even against their will—for private economic development.

    Why should this Court increase the power of the state to seize the property of the people?

    This is what’s wrong with the Supreme Court changing the laws of this land in the guise of aggressive interpretation of the Constitution. The Supreme Court sucks at making laws. This decision is a monstrosity. With this decision the Supreme Court is encouraging the very animosity it has been designed to resolve.

    It’s not unreasonable to view this as a power grab by the Supreme Court itself, as it will inevitably create conflicts which the court system will then be able to rule on.

    The Supreme Court is abusing its authority so as to increase its own dominance of American life.

    We’re going to have to do some thinking about how to get the Supreme Court back on track.
