The ""takings"" clause of the Fifth Amendment is for conservatives what the equal protection clause of the 14th is for liberals.

It wouldn't be fair to say that conservatives cherish property the way liberals cherish equality. But it would be fair to say that the takings clause is the conservatives' recipe for judicial activism just as they say liberals have misused the equal protection clause.

History has shown us that, on extraordinarily rare occasions, it becomes necessary for the federal government to intervene on behalf of individuals whose 14th Amendment rights to legal due process and equal protection may be violated by a state.

Santa Claus Is Back In Town
Well it's Christmas-time pretty baby
Snow is fallin' on the ground
Well it's Christmas-time pretty baby
Snow is fallin' on the ground
You'll be a real good little baby
Cause Santa Clause is back in town!
Got no sleigh with reindeer
No sack on my back
Gonna see me comin' in a big black Cadillac
Oooh Christmas-time pretty baby
Snow is fallin' on the ground
You'll be a real good little baby
Cause Santa Clause is back in town, (yeah he's back in town)
(ho, ho, ho, baby)
Hang up your stockin'
Turn out the light
Santa Clause is coming
Down your chimney tonight!
Oooh Christmas-time pretty baby
Snow is fallin' on the ground
You'll be a real good little baby
Cause Santa Clause is back in town
You'll be a real good little baby
Cause Santa Clause is back in town
(guess who's back in town, you better be a good girl)
(ho, ho, ho, baby)
Santa Clause is back in town

The logic is often far-fetched - how does medical marijuana affect interstate commerce? - and some conservatives would like judges to start throwing out federal laws wholesale on commerce clause grounds. The court once again said no thanks.

A politician will always tip off his true belief by stating the opposite at the beginning of the sentence. For maximum comprehension, do not start listening until the first clause is concluded. Begin instead at the word "but" which begins the second, or active, clause. This is the way to tell a liberal from a conservative -- before they tell you.
Thus: "I have always believed in a strong national defense, second to none, but ... " (a liberal, about to propose a $20 billion defense cut).

The world in its madness
The world in its madness
~
All this expectation
I need the release clause
Bona fied in contract
A day out of the mind
Trying to keep in pace
With all this change
The latest clothes
And relationships
All of which is expected
And used in judgement
Where is the joy found
When your force to fit in
I’d rather not be considered
To be classed as normal
The world is in its madness
A subtle twisted joke
I feel like the punch line
And seek to separate myself
Looking for the release clause
To be high on a plan
Some may look and talk
I may be labelled insane
But all I see and have seen
Is the world in its madness
