Yahoo! News: A proposal to seize Justice Souter's home

Weare, N.H.- An individual by the name of Darrow Clements of California faxed a letter to town officials in Weare New Hamshire, proposing that Justice Souter's farmhouse be turned into a hotel, following the Supreme Court's decision in No. 04-108 Kelo v. City of New London

"The letter dubbing the project the 'Lost Liberty Hotel' was posted on conservative radio show host Rush Limbaugh's Web site. Clements said it would include a dining room called the "Just Desserts Cafe" and a museum focused on the "loss of freedom in America".

There's nothing like uniting the right and the left.
However, what people forget, is that you must be compensated for any taking.

Washington Post: not beyond a reasonable doubt

Santa Maria, California- It's finally over. We can move on now.

But before we do, let us pause to think about the work that the jury did in the Michael Jackson case. They weighed the facts carefully and applied them to the law as instructed to them by the Judge, and found that there wasn't enough evidence to convict Michael Jackson beyond a reasonable doubt.

There were serious problems with the prosecution's case, including but not limited to the credibility problems of the accuser's mom, which, from the looks of it, spilled over to her son.

It is a testament to the American judicial system that disputes can be settled in this fashion, without having to resort to violence, or having one judge or three judges decide your fate.

Now, let us get on with other issues, as quickly as possible.

Yahoo!News/AP: The Judge reads the instructions to the jury

So here we are near the end of the sordid trial of Michael Jackson. The judge has read the jury instructions to the jury, and soon they will deliberate after closing arguments.

If the past several months of reporting by the press have been correct, this trial may not get the conviction the prosecution is hoping for. However, it will be very hard for the defense to overcome past allegations of uncharged molestations, which despite all the testimony of Michael Jackson's defense witnesses, will leave in the minds of the jurors questions that some of the present allegations must be true...

Even if Michael Jackson is convicted of misdemeanor exposure allegations, he would have to register as a sex offender under California law...

In the mean time, I am sure if there is a conviction, his lawyers will take it up on appeal.
