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?

You're pathetic. First of all, opposition to Kelo is hardly a progressive matter, as the conservatives on SCOTUS unanimously voted against it.

Second, all of the Fifth has been incorporated except for the grand jury clause. So precedent had been established that SCOTUS could apply the Fifth to state laws.

You Trumpettes truly are making yourselves into an abomination on this site in your efforts to slime FReepers raising legitimate conservative grievances about Trump's past.

I never thought I would see the day when people here would be cheering for eminent domain abuses for the ‘collective good’ like I have recently. Marx must be cheering.

I’ve also seen some of the same people cheer on Trump calling for confiscatory taxes on the top earners, again, for the ‘collective good’.

I guess when you hope for change, you lose all rationality and will support any clown.

Hardly ~ I do see some Conservatives "backsliding" into the Progressive never never land that says it's the job of the USSC to rewrite all the laws.

BTW, the Fifth has several points ~ each of which needs illumination by law to fully understand. CT just didn't illuminate the same way Kentucky, Tennesse and West Virginia might ~ where COAL MINE DEVELOPERS could purchase mineral rights without even notifying surface right owners! USSC hasn't touched that one.
