The Supreme court has decided that states have the right or responibilty to decide Eminent domain issues. Seems like we ask to much of a president. Their platform should be one that informs us on how they will act as commander in Chief. We do not need a president of the Congress. Contact your local state representives about Eminent domain and as you know governor zoolander perry has done nothing but stall Eminent domain reform in Texas. </description></item><item><title>Fred keeps on blogging</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/30/297142.aspx#297245</link><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jul 2007 18:06:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:297245</guid><dc:creator>Greg R., Spokane, WA</dc:creator><description>her mama's name is Iris, sorry</description></item><item><title>Fred keeps on blogging</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/30/297142.aspx#297281</link><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jul 2007 18:23:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:297281</guid><dc:creator>Union Baby, Tennessee</dc:creator><description>Sure is a shame that Lamar Alexander and Bill Frist did not feel the same way regarding eminent domain - then maybe we would not have state and local governments rushing around trying to undo the federal nightmare those guys voted for (along with the other repugnant minions).&lt;br&gt;The only time the government should be allowed to take away property is if the landlord can not take proper care of the property - at least enough so others don't get harmed by the property's lack of care and disfunction. &amp;nbsp;I never cared for Zoning much myself- just another way for small business owners to do what they want and deprive hard working citizens from handing the property down to their children.&lt;br&gt;It is mine, I paid for it, as long as I am not doing anything illegal on it (murder, child abuse, growing the state's #1 cash crop)it is no one's business what I do in my own home (kitchen, living room, and bedroom included).&lt;br&gt;Since Fred is such a bush fan maybe he can get shrub to change his opinon of eminent domain and leave us all alone. &amp;nbsp;Now, that would be nice and a brownie point for Fred.</description></item><item><title>Fred keeps on blogging</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/30/297142.aspx#297288</link><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jul 2007 18:27:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:297288</guid><dc:creator>jerry/corpus christi texas</dc:creator><description>Perry wants that I-69 built so badly he can taste it. &amp;nbsp;He'll have to use eminent domain to get the road and he just may as well turn the keys over to the liberal party if he does. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Fred keeps on blogging</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/30/297142.aspx#297289</link><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jul 2007 18:28:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:297289</guid><dc:creator>CJ</dc:creator><description>TEC-SPRING is correct.
