I was very surprised that US Supreme Court made a ruling that family houses and family homes can be demolished for public developments!
But here is an interesting twist to this story that was put on by some clever US citizents to battle the obvious injustice
Hope you find it as interesting as I did
Activists angered by a US Supreme Court ruling that homes can be demolished for public developments are trying to seize the home of one of the judges involved.

House Daunting
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil

What, no one finds the fact that their home can be destroyed so a new car park can be built in its place of any kind of interest???

This is not a new story, but of course, the judge's house being targeted is. I hope he DOES lose his house. It would serve him right.
Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?

Wow, News travels slow to to the BBC.

I find this so very very frightening. I mean something like this can so easily be used as a weapon against whole communities, minorities or in fact anybody with a differing opinion. The state has officially become the oppressor in my eyes. I am glad we don't have anything like this here in Australia... And yes, I hope the judge who stood for this looses his house as well!!! How funny it would be if Bush's Ranch was targeted in the same way???

I would like Bush's ranch to be confiscated to be used as the DNC national headquarters.

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around our (Canada's) new Conservative minority... Bleh!!
And I think the judge's house getting targetted is GREAT! I've always thought that lawyers should have a personal stake in the outcome of certain cases...
