It is the Duty of the States to Protect Your Rights
By Robert Greenslade © Nitwit Press

In an attempt to gain some insight into the political mindset of the American people, I regularly listen to talk radio. Not only are many of these shows interesting and thought provoking but they cover a wide rage of issues that never reach the editorial page of my local newspaper. But what intrigues me most are the assertions made by hosts and their callers concerning the Constitution because these comments reflect the general level of knowledge among the American people concerning our system of government.

During discussions on the Constitution, it is continually asserted, by host and caller alike, that the document was adopted to protect the individual rights of the American people and the federal government was entrusted with duty of securing these rights.

If the immoral and evil decision by the Supreme Court several weeks ago regarding medical cannabis was the death knell of the American constitutional experiment, today's announcement of the Supreme Court decision regarding government stealing whatever it wants is the burial of the corpse:

A divided Supreme Court ruled that local governments may seize people's homes and businesses against their will for private development in a decision anxiously awaited in communities where economic growth conflicts with individual property rights. Thursday's 5-4 ruling represented a defeat for some Connecticut residents whose homes are slated for destruction to make room for an office complex. They argued that cities have no right to take their land except for projects with a clear public use, such as roads or schools, or to revitalize blighted areas. As a result, cities now have wide power to bulldoze residences for projects such as shopping malls and hotel complexes in order to generate tax revenue. (Read the rest here)
