Check this one out. Here in Colorado people who bought a prime landlot in the '80's, paid taxes, kept the lot in good condition are rewarded with having to GIVE a large portion of their land to the people who live next door. All of this BECAUSE the landgrabbers (squatters) supposedly have been using this land as their own for years. They live in the house next to the land. Of course if the original owners chose to build a house there, it would block the landgrabbers beautiful view of the Boulder FlatIrons Mtn Range.

OUTRAGEOUS! I'm not surprised he's a former judge, mayor, and politician.

Once I was in small claim's court awaiting my turn, listening in on another case. I don't remember the details, but I do remember the losing party saying to the judge, "But the LAW says . . .". She cut him off, saying, "I don't care what the law says. In this courtroom, I AM THE LAW."

I will never forget that. A measly small claims court judge screaming out "I AM THE LAW" -- and meaning it -- to the detriment of this poor business owner who had just followed the ACTUAL law.

Reminds me of an old saying that my parents take to heart that my pediatrician had on all her notepads when I was growing up:

"Any government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everythig you have"

These stories reinforce my hatred for big government and socialist liberals.

I still can't believe it's happening but it sure looks like the "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" "justice" network is going strong. These people are going to appeal....Keep your fingers crossed for them...
