I wrote this in order to evoke the serious questions that need to be asked of John Roberts, as well as to bring into discussion what I have seen to be conservative hypocrisy as regards Kelo.

Please consider the links, as several are of historical import.

"which reserved all powers, not enumerated in the Constitution, either to the States or to the people"

Teddy Roosevelt usurped this for the Executive Branch! Then Eisenhour finished the job when the civil rights movement started and he appointed Earl Warren and sent the Guard to Alabama. Idiots like George Wallace egged in on as did that other idiot with his axe handle attitude!!!

Isn't it ironic that these were two Republicans??? (Ike and Teddy, not the other two)

"without due process of law"

That watercourse sure has become choked with turbidity!!!

"They don’t have to contend with raising children"

Almost sounds like gays. You left out spouses if gay marriage goes through...

"Either the communists have better lawyers, or Satan has a sense of humor."

I hear evil... demonic laughter!!!

"It is a koan so simple and elegantly twisted as to mystify any self-respecting Zen Master."

Every law school in the nation, maybe the whirled, teaches them to confuse, then clarify on terms that are favorable to their, or their client's purpose!!!

Good article. This koan permits legislating from the bench regardless of the clear intent of the Constitution.

You can’t make this stuff up. Either the communists have better lawyers, or Satan has a sense of humor.

Favorite line from this piece on some issues that have always bothered me, without realizing exactly why.
