I don't think the gay marriage decision goes in the same class as Kelo and Roe. I would definitely throw Kelo and Roe in with Dred Scott. All three decisions have a common factor in that they horrifically strip the rights of one citizen to provide a non-existent right to another.

Property rights are a cornerstone to our existence as Americans. While the Constitution does recognize need for eminent domain, it says absolutely nothing about taking property from one citizen and giving it to another. The ability of one party to pay higher taxes than another should not be the basis of property law in this country.

“All three decisions have a common factor in that they horrifically strip the rights of one citizen to provide a non-existent right to another. “

The gay marriage decision does this as well.
