The MB Admin Courts brought more attention to it because of the lawsuits against them, but Justice Toals would preseumeably have gotten around to Surfside's efforts eventually. This disease of politicians ignoring their constituents and rolling over the constitutional rights of the citizenry did not start with MB or Mayor Rhodes, he is just one of the latest exemplars of the mindset. I suspect that the counterweight of them getting smacked down by courts and an outraged electrorate won't be unique to these specific instances either. There are a lot of pissed off people out in the country at-large over a variety of abuses and over-reaches. As an example, I am starting to see significant grumblings and movements speaking about a boycott of GM in response to the government takeover of the company. I know that I personally had already decided that the only American car company that I will support in the future with my hard-earned dollars is the one that has not extorted taxpayer money from me... Ford. Interestingly, the new Car Czar is a 31 year old wunderkind who has zero/nada/zilch/zippo experience or expertise in business, cars, economics or ever held a job in the private sector. One can only imagine the kind of socially-conscious government engineered crapboxes GM will be rolling out in the future! I'm sure he knows what is good for us, but does he have any idea what we actually want? More importanty, does he even CARE?
