What other enumerated rights are the State's capable of rescinding? Allowing enumerated rights to be "interpreted" by anyone is as Conservative as allowing an athiest to interpret the Bible for the purpose of influencing church doctrin.

The authors of every ammendment chose each word purposefully and with the full intent of the meaning of that word. Strict adherence to the language of the constitution is Conservative, interpretation is nothing but destruction of the greatest document ever authored by man.

What other enumerated rights are the State's capable of rescinding?

There are no enumerated rights in the Constitution. The Constitution is a listing of the enumerated powers of the federal government. It says nothing about the relationship between the citizens and their respective states, which are free to come up with any internal laws they wish, Constitutionally - "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Since the Constitution does not give the Federal Government the power to interfere in a state's eminent domain proceedings, it is the purvue of the state, or the people, not the FG or the SC.

That said, its too bad the SC didn't take this stance when Roe v. Wade was up for consideration, or sodomy legislation, or civil rights, or slavery. Just because we don't like the outcome, we shouldn't criticize the court for finally acting like we've been insisting they do - this is the ultimate strict constructionist and/or states rights ruling. While it may have dangerous and unpopular short term ramifications, the long-term precedence it sets could be a good thing.
