There's an upside to all this. Now that the Supreme Court has opened the gate, dozens, maybe hundreds of towns will start chomping up private property. The nation will FINALLY express proper outrage and state-level legislators will have no choice but to act. There are casualties in every war. Mrs Kelo and her neighbors have fallen, but I'm betting that their loss will be the catalyst that ends this nonsense once and for all.

Thank you for the cheerful input!

In truth, I have a brother who is one of the very people engaged in this sort of thing. He routinely works to get property taken for building new facilities for a major US retailer (I better not say which one here).
As you might suspect, things are a bit tense between me and my bro right now... especially since I campaign actively against ED abuse.
