What role could a President play, in repealing Kelo or in any manner affecting eminent domain? I didn’t like that decision myself, Kelo, thought it was wrong. How would a President change that though, seriously? I don’t see that he (or she) could. It’s not within the powers delegated to the Executive Branch.

I agree the Executive has no power to overturn Kelo except for the bully pulpit.
But the Executive does have the power to use Kelo. I view property rights on the same level as the RTKABA, speech in all its forms and the freedom to practice ones religion free of government mandates and intervention.

Very difficult for me personally to support candidates who don’t agree
But in the end it is always a choice in degree. Especially here in CT. Though I have admittedly written in candidates for POTUS twice before. Ronald Reagan and Duncan Hunter. I am sure that dates me and gives you an idea of why I can be recalcitrant here at FR.
