justices, 5-4, back seizure of property for development (nytimes.com)
this is an article about a recent supreme court vote wherein they decided that it’s ok for the government to destroy people’s homes in the interest of economic development.
what the hell is happening to the united states?
republicans trying to close pbs and npr?
the government allowed to hold prisoners indefinitely without actually charging them with anything? the government now allowed to destroy people’s homes when/if the government so chooses?
ironic that the right-wing bush administration talk about exporting democracy abroad, when all they do at home is erode the democrat principles upon which the country was seemingly founded.
i honestly can’t believe that the supreme court decided that it’s ok to destroy people’s homes against their will.
not to sound like a strident polemicist, but the united states is becoming a deeply un-democratic country.
