"How do you get DP World out of there? Legally, they own the facilities and hardware onsite. Legally, if you constrain them from operating their property, they can simply strip it out of there, and those ports will be closed for good."

How so?

Under the auspices of "National Security" via Homeland Security, I believe the Fed can retrain any such shananigans, or via an emergency executive order. Then there's always 'Eminent Domain.'

Child's play if need be.

"Nobody's going to pony up billions of dollars if there's even the slightest risk that the investment will be nationalized, either de jure or de facto, on top of our asinine tax and regulatory policies.)"

Billions of dollars to ensure a proper proprietorship (i.e. NON-MUSLIM) of U.S. ports is just common sense, good politics, and provide minimal security headaches.

What was your take on the Kelo decision? Do you now view it as the shining diadem of Supreme Court jurisprudence?
