institute for justice happy independence day! it seems like a very appropriate time to make a contribution to the institute for justice, which litigates to protect various freedoms.

and once again, i’m contributing to a recent supreme court loser: the institute was involved in kelo v. new london, which has cleared the way for government to use its eminent domain powers to take property from its owner (paying “just compensation”) and give it to another private developer.

the LA Weekly just ran an article about a woman in Alhambra who is losing her building because the city designated a portion of Main Street as "blighted." apparently in California, it's not hard for a municipality to attach the "blight" label.
