Judicial
E.D. -- Erecting private-developer interests as "public use" in the guise of "public
purpose" changing "A man's home is his castle" to "A man's home is his
sandcastle on the beach of political waves."
In the U.S. Supreme Court decision announced on June 23, 2005 [Kelo v. City of New
London, 545 U.S. ___ (2005) [source]
the five-justice majority (Stevens, Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg and Breyer) stretched the Supreme
Court's prior "public purpose" stretching of the "public use" requirement
(imposed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments) for governmental "taking" of private
property beyond common-sense recognition. It borders on equating the political whims of local
government (or state or federal governments, for that matter) and collaborating private interests
with "public purpose" and, hence, in accordance with the Supreme Court's prior stretching
of "public use" to include "public purpose," it borders on equating such whims
with the mandates of the Fifth and Fourteenth amendments making "public use" a sine
qua non for governmental taking of private property. This is not merely not
good-- it's bad.
When the Judiciary stretches meaning of constitutional (and/or statutory) language beyond the
common-sense meaning of ordinary words, it thereby adopts a cloistered, insular interpretation
alienated from the common-sense world. It breeds disrespect for the Judiciary. Citizens
reasonably expect, and likewise respect, highly-technical, non-commonsensical interpretations of
highly technical, specialized statutory language but not such interpretations of ordinary
language. "Public use" is not a highly-technical term beyond the comprehension of
ordinary people with ordinary knowledge. It's not an interpretation of something as arcane as
"special purpose entity" (a concept that ultimately provided the springboard for stock
fraud in the 1990's)-- it's a common-sense term not requiring legal training to be understood within
the constitutional meaning of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment.

Democrats
demand that Karl Rove resign or be fored for saying post-9-11 "liberals" favored law
enforcement over military strategy against terror; Rove's molehill of hyperbole versus Durbin's
mountain of distortion.
Democrats are demanding
that Karl Rove resign or be fired by George Bush for saying that after 9-11,
"liberals" favored law enforcement over military strategy in combating terror. Such
demands attempt to equate Rove's molehill of hyperbole with the mountain's of shrillness by Dick
Durbin, Ted Kennedy, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, and the rest of the Michael Moore wing
fuselage of the current Democratic Party in which leaders such as Joe Lieberman are being left out
in the cold.
Manners, Mountains & Molehills.
How could characterizing "liberals" as, in effect, being too much in favor of
law-enforcement tactics over military strategy to combat terrorists who declared war on us be deemed
by any rational person as being even remotely equivalent to Durbin's comparison of our treatment of
the captives at Gitmo (where no captive has died) with the operation of death camps by the Nazis,
Stalin and Pol Pot? How about equating a diet too rich in fat with a diet of cyanide?

Senate
rejects McCain/Lieberman amendment to Energy Bill to codify Global Warming BSF; U.N. and European,
bureaucracies (aka IPCC) apoplectic over Senate's refusal to pass gas limiting amendment.
Advocates of the theory that activities of mankind, rather than natural causes, are causing
fluctuations in average annual temperatures over geologically-short time-spans contend their theory
is sound, but the real sound being heard is the scientific flatulence upon which such theory is
based. That such theory is so obviously flawed in its premise is not new even though the media
still has not caught on to (or has chosen to ignore) flaws
exposed years ago. Meanwhile, we waste
billions on such Scientific Flatulence while spending mere millions to develop ways to
defend against a far more deadly planetary catastrophe-- i.e., the
next Tunguska-size impact.

Dick
Durbin says he's "sorry"; Americans respond by recognizing him as a sorry excuse for a
U.S. Senator in likening Gitmo to death camps run by Nazis, Stalin and Pol Pot.
Ostensibly, he must believe that not everyone would have been offended by such comments.
Therefore, he surely did not want to offend such un-offended people such as Michael Moore, Howard
Dean, Ted Kennedy, the ACLU, Amnesty International, the International Committee of the Red Cross
(not your father's "Red Cross"), Martin Sheen, Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Al Franken, and
the rest of the far-left wing fuselage of the
Democratic Party ad naseum.
