I’m thinking that Kelo can be used by the States to strip land from the Feds.

We’ve heard that Dirty Harry Reid, Nevada’s real life Senator Geary, was possibly preparing to steal some of the Bundy ranch land to give it to a Chinese company to run another fake “green scam.”

I've always considered Breitbart.com to be a pretty reliable source for accurate news, and they shot down that story ten days ago. Link

This begs the question: Why couldn’t the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) merely re-deed the land in question and cite the Kelo Decision as its legal grounds?

I guess that would depend on the Constitution of NV. IIRC, Kelo was found the way it was because that state did not have a provision in the Constitution expressly forbidding the action. AZ, for example, has such a provision and a similar taking was stopped in the State SC because of it (Baily's Brake Shop v. City of Mesa).

Now, the decision was supposed to be narrowly tailored, and we've seen narrow decisions ripped wide open many times, so who knows?

Apparently the BLM has already been doing that and the county records don't show any exchange of money and have other irregularities.

Without a doubt the Supreme Court’s Kelo Decision is one of the most potentially destructive decisions ever made, along with Roe vs Wade

How's that?

Without a doubt the Supreme Court’s Kelo Decision is one of the most potentially destructive weapons a tyrant like Barack Obama has at his disposal.

With all due respect to Mr. Collins, he is wrong about the Supreme Court's decision with Kelo imo.

More specifically, as a consequence of parents not making sure that their children are taught the federal government's constitutionally limited powers and the Constitution's history, people overook the following about Kelo.

The writings of constitutional experts like James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Justice John Marshall and John Bingham, Bingham the main author of Section 1 of the 14th Amendments, all clearly indicate that Founding States had decided not to make the prohibitions of government power in the Bill of Rights applicable to the states. In other words, although the feds have to pay private land owners to take land and use that land for public purposes, the states have never needed an excuse for seizing private land, although they now have to pay for the land under the 14th Amendment.

Sadly, as a consequence of parents not making sure that their children are taught about 10th Amendment-protected state powers versus the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, citizens have seemingly never wised up to the fact that they have to deal with their state lawmakers to make state laws which go beyond the simple protections of the 5th Amendment to protect private property owners from the state.
