This isn't about*our government*. this is about *our Supreme Court* and the
liberal agenda which is all about destroying private property rights for the
*good of the people* Lots of liberals are rich fat cats.

To understand this situation better lets look at a little of George Bush’s
personal history.
In 1989 a group of investors formed to purchase the Texas Rangers baseball
franchise and wanted to build a new stadium as a central part of their business
plan. To accomplish this without spending any money, they offered GW a full
partnership for $600.000 (about 5% of it value). In exchange, George was
to help with “political issues” and be the “Public Face” for the team. The
“political issues’ … to help influence the seizure of the privately owned
property that the stadium was built on and, help secure taxpayer guaranteed
bonds to finance the purchase. The land was foreclosed and the owners were
paid a very low price, later judged by a jury to be only 1/6th of its actual
value. This is now considered a textbook case of inappropriate use of eminent
domain. George sold his stake for $14 million - while Texas governor -- to
a Texas millionaire with lots of businesses regulated by his administration.
While campaigning for Gov, George said,
"I will do everything I can to defend the power of private property and private
property rights when I am the governor of this state."
The original landowners eventually received some help through the courts,
but it was on the back of the local taxpayers who received a property tax
increase.
GW is not directly responsible for the rulings of the Supreme Court, but
the White House has set standards that seem to emanate throughout our government.
This is indeed a sad day for all defenders of the US Constitution.

No doubt … many democratic politicians have abused Eminent Domain to line
their own pockets or to help developers that have made substantial contributions
to them. This is not specifically a “right” or “left” issue, but I still
hate to see our president having this history. Even worse, it is considered
his only “successful” attempt at private industry.
This makes it particularly difficult to argue these cases in the courts or
to achieve any meaningful legislative changes that would secure the constitutional
intent.
But if you want to talk about people using high governmental position to
line their own pockets, perhaps we should be talking about Dick Chaney …don’t
get me started.
When Oliver Stone wrote the line “Greed is Good” for Wall Street, he couldn’t
possibly have known that his sarcasm would be taken as gospel by so many.

In my city, there have recently been two fairly well-publicized
instances of this sort of thing... the seizures weren't for
shopping malls or anything like that - one was due to an
elementary school that was pretty old, in need of expansion and
either renovation or rebuilding (if I remember right, they
ended up deciding it's going to be a complete teardown &
rebuild), so in that case, four or five people had to give up
their homes to allow for the expansion part of it. In the other
instance, there's a somewhat run-down area of town that's been
earmarked as an "enterprise zone", and I'm not sure how that
whole thing works, but as a result of that, the city can get
some kind of federal funding to rebuild/renew that area. They
want to put a medical school there (there've been talks with
Texas Tech - they already have a nusing school here - and our
civic leaders have been lobbying at the state level for
assistance in funding this for the past couple of years), and
that would cause a much larger amount of people to lose their
homes & businesses - I can't recall the exact estimates, but I
saw a map of the area with the proposed land for the medical
school highlighted, and it seemed to be quite a bit of land.
Part of the reason that t's going to affect quite a few people
is that the houses in that part of town are older & smaller, so
you've got more houses crammed into a given city block, small
mom & pop storefronts, things like that.
Anyway, regardless of who's driving this recent decision,
seizures for "blighted areas" have been around forever -
doesn't have to be for public use, as long as it's being done to
remove "blight" - the bad thing about that is that those areas
are always poorer areas, and even if you someone in those areas
gets 10% or 15% higher than market value for their house, where
are they going to go? Where is someone going to go who owns a
house in a run-down part of town, and they get $100k for it
from the city, but the prevailing value for a house in the
market a

The question here is "eminent domain". A new freeway is one thing, a
waterfront hotel and shopping outlet is another. We're all on the same page,
just saying it differently.
