quote[ Those who believe in the adage "when it rains, it pours" might take the tale of the plaintiffs in Kelo v. New London as a cue to buy two of every animal and a load of wood from Home Depot. The U.S. Supreme Court recently found that the city's original seizure of private property was constitutional under the principal of eminent domain, and now New London is claiming that the affected homeowners were living on city land for the duration of the lawsuit and owe back rent. It's a new definition of chutzpah: Confiscate land and charge back rent for the years the owners fought confiscation.
In some cases, their debt could amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Moreover, the homeowners are being offered buyouts based on the market rate as it was in 2000.]
What the fuck??? I seriously hope the fucking judges who deemed this constitutional get their Goddamned houses taken away too.
Seriously, if you live in CT (oh, wait, the supreme court made this national, didn't it?), please write your state reps and senators about this. We cannot allow this to go on!
