Dear Times, The government can take your private property!
That is what five unelected Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court ruled recently in Kelo v. City of New London, Connecticut. Specifically, the Court said that it is now okay for any state or local government, under the guise of economic development, to take your private property and hand it over to private developers to build a strip mall, hotel or even a bigger home – basically anything that could produce more tax revenue for local government coffers. Indeed, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor got it exactly right when she wrote in her dissent, 'The government now has license to transfer property from those with fewer resources to those with more. The Founders cannot have intended this perverse result.' This decision is outrageous! But it is up to us -- everyday Americans like you and me -- to begin to restore our fundamental property rights. There is hope.
