Early 08 Discussion, GOP Possibilities ?!?

I have heard Romney, Bill Owens, Senator's Allen, Frist and McCain and others on various radio hosts programs and all are very impressive. I believe The GOP has the deepest well of talented and driven conservative leaders it has had in a very long time. The primaries are going to very interesting and alot of great ideas are going to be presented to the american people while the Dems rail and bloviate about Pres. Bush . While supporting him we alse need to be formulating and activating discussion groups at the grassroots level about 06 and 08. We cannot relax as the latest horrendous ruling from the SCOTUS shows. We have no property rights if your local developer wants it and can bribe your city council enough to condemn it. There are a couple of Rinos and red state dems up next cycle. That last ruling is a wake up and call to true public expression. Our right to vote.
Fellow conservatives, we cannot sit down, fire up that keyboard, quit being politically shy and correct, even the nicest dogs become vicious when you seek to cage them and take the hard earned bone away. Over my dead body and cold hand will the government remove me of my property without just compensation and a cut of the millions to be supposedly made.
The blogs I have linked on the side bar offer much better analysis than I can. Hugh Hewitt is a constitutional law prof. The guys at powerline are all attys. they will probabley have direct links to the various opinions of the judges. I'll post the link to the opinions of the judges when I find it as update.

Update: hattip: Religious Freedom Coalition

PLEDGE PROTECTION
Congressman Todd Akin (R-MO) was one of the elected officials who attended the Religious Freedom Coalition reception on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, June 21st. While there he talked briefly about the reintroduced Pledge Protection Act. The bill protects "under God" in the current Pledge of Allegiance from the purview of federal courts. His bill was passed by the previous session of the House. Senator Brownback, who was also present at our reception Tuesday night, will support the bill in the Senate. The chief Senate sponsor is

Update: From The Opinion Journal.

Leviathan
After celebrating the Supreme Court's decision yesterday to effectively give local governments carte blanche to seize land for private development, some local officials began quickly moving to use their new unlimited authority. Officials in the beachfront town of Freeport, Texas, announced they would move forward with plans to commandeer property owned by two seafood companies in order to allow the construction of a 900-slip private marina. Freeport will even be loaning the developers $6 million to finance the project, and if it fails the town won't be getting its money back. What is certain is that the displacement of the two seafood companies will cost scores of jobs.
The Supreme Court's decision, by a narrow majority with Justice Anthony Kennedy as swing vote, has prompted state Rep. Frank Corte, a Republican from San Antonio, to propose a state constitutional amendment limiting the power to condemn private land for use by other private entities. He says the amendment is now necessary in order to "limit a local governmental entity's power of eminent domain, preventing them from bulldozing residences in favor of private developers." No doubt there will be similar moves in other states as voters wake up to the realization that the Supreme Court has granted revenue-hungry local governments more or less unlimited authority to seize homes and businesses in order to achieve a "higher use" of the property.
