Property Wrongs

(originally posted jun.23)

Nobody should care too much about flag-burning while the Supreme *spit* Court is burning the Constitution that makes the flag worth something. Might as well move to Zimbabwe...

Update 1: A scene I'd like to see.

Update 2: Following the Court's own logic, the Supreme Court building itself should be bulldozed. It has been a blight on America since Roe v. Wade. Washington residents would be much better served by a parking garage... or a Taco Bell... (Update 5: Scrappleface wrote something similar.)

Update 3: Do I need to show you a picture?

Update 4: How about another picture ?

Update 6: Instapundit liked to this Yahoo article, in which International Economic Development Council president Jeffrey Finkle is quoted as saying:
"I can't imagine that this Supreme Court ruling will all of a sudden cause every city council member to risk alienating their constituents by rampantly doing eminent domain."
I don't have to imagine it, Mr. Finkle, I've seen it. Perhaps not by "every city council member", but "rampantly doing eminent domain" will take over property like kudzu if this ruling is not reversed.

Wait... could we use this to eminent domain Zimbabwe? As long as the government has decided they can have whatever they want, let's see if we can get them to steal from other people first. You know, feeding the crocodile in the hope that it will eat you last.
