Trying to put out a fire here, and keep the ammo boxes stored.

Suppose this works, and the town condemns Souter's property. What is the very worst thing that could happen next? They offer him a fair price, he says fine and takes it.

Next time one of these abusive cases comes along, and we all cry about property rights, the big government crowd can just say, "Hey, Souter didn't whine like a baby when it happened to him."

And by the way, the Kelo ruling at the end of the day would still be in effect. Careful with fire. It burns.

If they offer Souter a fair price and he takes it, no problem, fan out and start proceedings on another justice or perhaps a Senator from Massachussetts. Repeat as necessary. It won't be long before you find someone who puts up a fight or changes the law.

My problem with your idea for an ammendment is that there already is one, and it wasn't followed. Plus, even if it would work, an ammendment would take a LONG time and a lot of damage will be done to the citizens in the meantime.

I don't have an issue with doing that as a parallel course of action, I just think we need to strike harder and faster.
