“Last Friday was the first anniversary of a sad occasion, the day the U.S. Supreme Court said the Constitution permits the politicians who run New London, Connecticut, to throw people out of their homes so the land can become part of a ritzy private waterfront development that is expected to produce more tax revenue than the residences that stand there now. In modern America workers are expropriated for the benefit of ‘capitalists.’ Also last week the final two holdouts in New London, including Susette Kelo, whose name is immortalized in the title of the case, bowed to the inevitable and settled with the government.” (06/30/06)
