Re: Court's Kelo Decision Puts Religious Property at Risk

[Hamilton02]

When it was decided, which is a while ago, the Cottonwood case was reported on everywhere.  There was no "liberal press cover up."    Marci   In a message dated 8/16/2005 11:26:53 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Interesting article.  This kind of thing is exactly what I was concerned about after Kelo was handed down.  I'm glad to see that RLIUPA is protecting the churches, but that fact that it's necessary says something about the idea that local governments could generally be trusted to do the right thing. I also find it interesting that I'd never heard anything in the news about the Cottonwood/Costco/Cypress story.  I can only wonder, if they had tried to sieze land belonging to Planned Parenthood instead of a church, would the media silence have been the same?
