Supreme Court Fails to Protect Property Rights!
The Jarbo Bayou Times finds the Supreme Court ruling in Kelo v. New London, 04-108, rendered June 23, 2005, may infact be in criminal violation of the Justice's oaths to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. This Supreme Court property rights ruling has horrific consequences.

Those people we have heard from are of a wide and varied  political and ideological spectra, all seem to be united and of  one  belief,  that our right to own property is inalienable.

Justice, John Paul Stevens, Anthony Kennedy, David H. Souter,  Ruth Bader Ginsburg Stephen G. Breyer all voted for this obvious land grab.

Think it can't  happen here?
It already did, who remembers when and where? Contact the Times win a $25.00 visa card if you are the first to correctly identifi this local "Land Grab".
