Awesome post!
Impeaching the majority of the U.S.S.C. would cause the legal branch of our government to come to a screeching halt
Something that is now necessary. The pause should be filled with debate in the Congress as to how to bring the Judiciary back into control - By amendments, or an entire re-write of the section of the Constitution dealing with the powers of the Judiciary.
The un-Constitutional nullification of legitimate laws stemming from Marbury and the conjuring of new "rights" out of whole cloth needs to be stopped, and a check mechanism put in place which would give either the States or the Congress the power to reverse such rulings should they be made.

Not sure if they still use a "rational relationship to a legitimate state interest" test, but I can assure you that if `push comes to shove´, and another developer complains that some stubborn homeowners are `standing in the way of progress´, you will see a federal appeals court enforcing Kelo.There's nothing to enforce in Kelo. The USSC just said that the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment no longer protects private property from taking for nonpublic use. It doesn't mean the States must ignore the protections as well, just that they are not bound by it anymore.

My response to the county government that would seek to take my property is: COME ON OVER AND GET IT. MAKE SURE TO BRING ALONG YOUR FRIENDLY SWAT TEAM, BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU ARE GOING TO EVICT ME. I have had it with these stinking government bureaucrats. Enough is a stinking enough.

A sitting federal judge (or Justice of the Supreme Court) can only b removed by one route, impeachment. There have been, IIRC, 11 impeachments of judges in our history. Most were for the commission of a crime; one was for drunkenness.
Look at the present, or even possible after the 2006 election, membership of the Senate. Is there a snowball's chance in Hell that the Senate will vote by a 2/3rds margin to remove any Justice merely for savaging the Constitution and violating their oath of office?
If you conclude that the Senate will not vote to convict and remove any Justice on that basis, then you agree with Thomas Jefferson who wrote that "the remedy of impeachment is a scare-crow." That the House might vote by a majority to impeach (or indict) means nothing if the Senate will not convict and remove.
Therefore, the only real remedy is to wait for the outlaw Justices to die, or resign for health and age problems, and see to it that they are replaced by Justices who have read the Constitution, understand it, and will obey it. There is no other remedy, absent armed rebellion per the Declaration of Independence.

Cornyn is wrong.
It should be illegal. Period.
Go talk to the Cubans in Florida and ask them to tell you about their homes and business that Castro seized.
Not much different in the Kelo ruling.
There will be deaths over this - political careers and physically, I'm sure.

I should say the outrage is only just starting. My exact thought too.
These robed bastards need to be taken down a notch. Or up, depending on how you look at it:

I have another one - we both agree government should stay the hell away from the internet, we both agree CFR is restricted speech, etc.
Wouldn't take much to align both sides to take our government back.

If the situation were reversed, I'd encourage the Dems to impeach the justices - I'm an American first.

How about some House pressure?
This should be brought up and voted on, and all voted accounted for (no voice vote), so Americans know where Congress stands on this issue.
If the House votes to overturn this decision and write legislation to enfore our rights (I can't believe I'm even writing this!), I'd like to see the Senate try and ignore it.

Why mess with new legislation, why not go after the problem. Usurping the Constitution is not good behavior. IMPEACH THE FIVE JUSTICES...NOW!
