Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader is stunned. Just stunned. If your Maximum Leader were Andrew Sullivan he would be gobsmacked. (But lucky for you your Maximum Leader is not Andrew Sullivan or he would have hit you up for money to pay for all this expensive bandwidth…)

He was just reading over Brian’s blog and saw this update. Go and read it. Follow the link… Read the link…

Yup. Go understand that right… The poor people who lost the recent Kelo cases in front of the US Supreme Court are now being charged rent for living in their own houses during the appeal process.

Your Maximum Leader just doesn’t know how he should react. The red curtain of blood (as Kim Du Toit calls it) fell over his eyes. It has now lifted a little. All he can think of his what a heartless bunch of cruel bastards are running the city of New London, Connecticut.

Your Maximum Leader does believe that there is something you can do. You can go and visit the Institute for Justice and make a donation to their Castle Coalition project. Your Maximum Leader is a big believer in IJ. He was as shocked as they were that they lost the Kelo case. Now they are fighting eminent domain abuse around the country.

You can also write/e-mail all of your elected representatives (from city/county councilman all the way up to US Senator) and ask them to pass legislation that would nullify the Kelo decision in your state, county, or city.

Carry on.
