...judicially brainstormed separation-of-powers principles to establish a manipulable "functional" test for the extraterritorial reach of habeas corpus (and, no doubt, for the extraterritorial reach of other constitutional protections as well). Does that mean the government can use Kelo to seize Mexico citing eminent domain? After all, our industries could put the land to better use than Mexico has.
