You didn't follow the argument. It's all about "developmental rights" and has been for 200 years. So what you, I, conservatives, anyone has to do is to re-caste the legal arguments away from "pristine" property rights and into the "developmental" mode. I'm convinced it can be done. I'm also convinced you can't win the "pristine" argument, because it would unravel the basics of American land law, among other things ("squatter's rights," for example.

This is a scary ruling that will lead to many abuses by local governments who buy into any snake-oil pitch from businessmen about raising tax revenues. ('Monorail, monorail...')

Plus, Boss Hogg finally has the legal basis he needs to annex the Dukes' farm.
