NO. After his recent votes to kill private property rights via eminent domain and destroy states' rights via the commerce clause, Kennedy deserves to be impeached, not elevated.

He did nothing of the sort. What the decision ruling amounted to is that the local government had the right to do so. In effect this removed a portion of the 14th Amendment's incorporation claim on the 5th Amendment, which for conservatives looking to return to a Constitutional government as envisioned by the Framers is a good thing

Now it is up to the citizens of the respective states to approach their legislatures to pass laws preventing such actions
