Congress Bucks Supreme Court Liberals on Eminent Domain

The House voted overwhelmingly (376-38) to pass the Private Property Rights Protection Act, which would cut off federal funds to localities that decide to steal someone's property for purposes of generating additional taxes. The bill is in response to the recent Kelo vs. New London Supreme Court decision that ok'd governments to steal private property and give it to someone else if it generated more tax revenue.

Finally something everyone can agree upon. Let's remember who on the Supreme Court voted against private property owners (hint: it wasn't the conservatives who, people love to say, favor big business).
