    Default Liberals Never Admit They Are Wrong

    nor do they ever say they made an honest mistake. Rather then admit they were wrong, liberals spend the rest of their lives claiming “I was robbed.” Everything liberals believe is best for everyone and that is an end to it.

    Did you ever hear one of the seven lawyers that were responsible for Roe v. Wade say “I was wrong.”

    Eminent domain is pocked marked with wrong decisions handed down by wrong justices:

    Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005) was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States involving the use of eminent domain to transfer land from one private owner to another private owner to further economic development. In a 5–4 decision, the Court held that the general benefits a community enjoyed from economic growth qualified private redevelopment plans as a permissible "public use" under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment.

    The case arose in the context of condemnation by the city of New London, Connecticut, of privately owned real property, so that it could be used as part of a “comprehensive redevelopment plan.” However, the private developer was unable to obtain financing and abandoned the redevelopment project, leaving the land as an undeveloped empty lot.

    Retired Justice Stevens will never say he was wrong; he will go to his grave claiming his decision was justified:

    John Paul Stevens has had it rough. In 2005, Stevens, then an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, authored one of the worst SCOTUS decisions of the past 50 years. Kelo v. City of New London let a local government bulldoze a working-class neighborhood so that private developers would have a blank slate on which to build a luxury hotel, a conference center, and various other upscale amenities. The city's goal was to erase that existing community via eminent domain and replace it with a new commercial district that would (maybe? hopefully?) fill the local coffers with more abundant tax dollars.

    Stevens, the poor soul, has been catching hell for this lousy ruling ever since. Kelo is "the most un-American thing that can be done," declared Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California, an outspoken liberal. Her ideological opposite, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, has said that Kelo "bastardized" the Constitution. "Government can kick the little guy out of his or her homes and sell those [homes] to a big developer," Limbaugh objected. Hating Kelo would seem to be the one thing that can bring a divided America together.

    Parenthetically, Baby Ruth agrees with South Africa. It is safe to say she agrees with South Africa’s ‘improvement’ on our own Takings Clause:

    It comes as the South African government pushes ahead with plans to amend the country’s constitution to allow for the expropriation of land without compensation.

    The seizures are intended to test the ability of the government to take land under existing laws, which the ruling African National Congress has previously stated is allowable if “in the public interest”.

    Bottom line: The federal government can take private property so long as they pay fair market prices. The State of Connecticut did it to enrich private developers in Kelo v. New London.

    Legal, or illegal, abortion will automatically be decided by the states when Roe v. Wade is overturned on the federal level, while eminent domain requires a constitutional amendment to protect property Rights:


    FIFTH AMENDMENT


    No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

    The federal government and the states determine just compensation. That has to be precisely defined. The U.S. was an agrarian society when the original Bill of Rights was ratified. Today, there are tens of million homeowners who need protection from eminent domain abuses no less than did farmers of olde.

    President Trump invoking eminent domain for national security is one of a very few authentic purposes for taking private property. In any event taking relatively worthless narrow strips of land to secure the border can hardly be compared to the government confiscating valuable land in order to profit corporations traded on Wall Street.

    Conversely, Donald Trump once said he was comfortable with expanding eminent domain for economic reasons in cases like Kelo v. The City of New London. No surprise there coming from a real estate developer.

    Trump surely knew that his interpretation of eminent domain is always aimed specifically at individual property owners; never at the corporations he admires so much. If you listen to wheeler-dealers like Trump talking you will end up believing there is something public-spirited about being forced to sell your property. That is called half-assed laissez faire economics.

    Trump does not know that most Americans believe that the conventional application of eminent domain should be confined to specific projects. Basically, infrastructure like roads, military bases, tunnels, and so on —— Takings that every American benefits from.

    Unless Trump mends has ways before 2020 I suspect he will lose the vote of every homeowner that heard him say he believes that eminent domain should be used to enrich corporations traded on Wall Street under the pretext of economic common good.

    At the risk of giving Democrats sound advice I suggest they should ask the Realtor how in hell is a corporation manipulating the power of government to take private property away from individuals any different than the government further enriching wealthy parasites with income tax dollars?

    NOTE: Conservatives did not vote for John “Amnesty for Illegals” McCain or Mitt “Kennedycare” Romney. They will not vote for eminent domain abuses in 2020.


    The court’s 5-4 holding in Kelo v. City of New London gave local officials a green light to seize and demolish private homes through eminent domain, then turn the land over to developers itching to build something more lucrative. In Fort Trumbull, those private homeowners included people such as Susette Kelo, a local nurse who bought her little Victorian cottage on the Thames River because she loved its waterfront view; Wilhelmina Dery, who was born in her house on Walbach Street in 1918 and had been living there all her life; and Pasquale and Margherita Cristofaro, whose home on Goshen Street was the second New London property they lost to eminent domain, the first having been taken 30 years earlier because the city intended to construct a seawall. (The seawall was never built.)


    Eminent disaster


    Homeowners in Connecticut town were dispossessed for nothing
    By Jeff Jacoby Globe Columnist March 12, 2014

    https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/...h0L/story.html

    There have been numerous abuses of eminent domain. After Kelo v. City of New London a few states did pass some laws that shielded private ownership from eminent domain abuses.

    Eminent domain has been a smoldering issue for a long time. The problem is that each abuse is local; so the national media did not report eminent domain cases until 60 Minutes did a good segment a few years ago. The Supreme Court wrongly deciding Kelo is probably the only reason a lot of homeowners are now aware of eminent domain abuses.

    Port Chicago, California in the early 1960s was possibly the worst eminent domain abuse in modern times. In that land grab the government took an entire town under the pretext of enlarging the Navy Base. The government took —— then turned around and sold the land to developers.

    Attorney Melvin Belli (1907 - 1996), was famous for raising the Jolly Roger over his office building in San Francisco when he won a case. He lost the case for the people of Port Chicago who were ripped off. The Port Chicago case never got to the US Supreme Court because the infamous Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals refused to hear the appeal.

    Just a reminder that then-swing-vote Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy voted against private sector property owners. I think if you do a head count you will find that most Supreme Court justices come down on the side of confiscation for any reason. The late Justice Scalia was one of the good guys:


    The late Justice Antonin Scalia said it best, warning a ruling in favor of the city would destroy “the distinction between private use and public use,” asserting that a private use that provided merely incidental benefits to the state was “not enough to justify use of the condemnation power.”

    Possession may very well be 9/10ths of the law, but Kelo showed that government parasites get 9/10ths while private sector property owners get zero percent.

    Throw in EPA regulations and all private property Rights belong to the government along with owning all real property.

    Are some of you actually at this moment just realizing this fact of liberalism? As I have often jokingly said, "I once knew a liberal that actually admitted that they were wrong.....but upon further consideration of the matter he said, I only thought I was wrong....turns out I was merely mistaking." Upside down an crooked as hell. Not only do they refuse to admit to those errors of judgement.....they DOUBLE DOWN and make the big lie even bigger.

    Mr. Reagan had them pegged decades ago, "Its not so much that our liberal friends are ignorant or lying.....Its just that they know so many things that simply are not so...….." -- R. Reagan

    Liberals are never wrong but also liberals are never correct.

    Eminent domain has been a smoldering issue for a long time. The problem is that each abuse is local; so the national media did not report eminent domain cases until 60 Minutes did a good segment a few years ago. The Supreme Court wrongly deciding Kelo is probably the only reason a lot of homeowners are now aware of eminent domain abuses.
    It is amazing that Diarrhea Mouth Pelosi has been spraying her excrement on the country for so many decades no one points out that she has always been wrong —— like China Joe Biden.

    Notice that potty mouth cited the Constitution to justify confiscating private property for her pals on Wall Street, while she never invoked the Constitution so she and her bloodthirsty sisters could slaughter 60 million infants in the womb to date. Ignoring the Second Amendment as though it was already repealed is another load of shit that flows out of Pelosi’s filthy mouth almost daily.


    “It is a decision of the Supreme Court,” Rep. Nancy Pelosi said in 2005, speaking about the eminent domain ruling in Kelo v. New London. “If Congress wants to change it, it will require legislation of a level of a constitutional amendment. So this is almost as if God has spoken.”

    This florid reverence for the high court ought not be lost on the reader, especially given where Pelosi and other Democrats find themselves today. As the Senate prepares to confirm President Trump’s third Supreme Court nominee, they have begun to say outright that the nomination and confirmation procedure outlined in the U.S. Constitution is illegitimate. In some cases, they are even insinuating that the court itself lacks legitimacy, for which outlandish claim the only visible justification is that they don’t like the direction it's going.

    Vomit Schumer is such an asshole he is hardly worth mentioning when he talks about advice and consent:



    “I believe that the whole process has been illegitimate,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said with characteristic cynicism. But as the Washington Examiner's Noemie Emery pointed out last week, the word “illegitimate” is hard to apply to a process outlined as a routine matter within the Constitution, which states: “The President ... shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint ... Judges of the supreme Court,” among others. Trump is president until January and has the lawful, legitimate power to appoint Amy Coney Barrett to the vacant seat on the Supreme Court. The Senate, controlled by an elected Republican majority, has the lawful, legitimate power to confirm Judge Barrett.


    Democrats delegitimize the Supreme Court because they fear losing power over the rest of us

    The basic test of freedom is perhaps less in what we are free to do than in what we are free not to do. It is the freedom to refrain, withdraw and abstain which makes a totalitarian regime impossible. Eric Hoffer
