Homeowners File Petition for Kelo Rehearing

Connecticut homeowners from whom the government decided to steal property filed a motion for the U.S. Supreme Court to rehear the Kelo case. Although highly unlikely that the case will be heard, the families are correct in claiming that many of the "hypothetical" examples cited by the Court in its opinion are now becoming a reality around the U.S.

Governments see opportunities for greater tax revenue, so they are stealing property and reselling it to higher bidders - all legal now.
