That about sums up dealing with the DUmmieboard. There was a bit of a light appearing after the Kelo v. New London ruling however it went out quickly. Sort of "No independent thought! Get back on the plantation! You need to be re-assimilated!"
The funniest thing about DUmmieland when Kelo came out was that they could not comprehend that it was the liberal wing of the Court that gave us that decision.
They just couldn't understand it.
