Do you know how complex Kelo is? I thought not.

Go get stuffed. I am well aware of Kelo.

And I would recommend you read O'Connor's dissent and then still try to downplay it, Trumpette.

I read through every opinion under Kelo. In Connecticut that was the state of the law. Elsewhere the law had already been brought up to date.

Was it your expectation that it was the job of the USSC to rewrite ancient state laws to bring them up current with the latest progressive thought on the matter?

BTW, I don't agree that the gub'mnt should be able to take one man's property to give to another man ~ Hamurrabi thought that worth the death penalty, and the Bible has passed along the same idea ~ King Josia (I believe) took a guy's vinyard for his own personal use.

However, we are dealing with a state that's one of the original colonies. The militia there did not put their lives on the line to use the government to steal property, but that's what's happened. The only question is DID THE PEOPLE OF CT FIX THE PROBLEM?
