"How did ya like that Kelo decision?"

How do I "like" it? I don't understand.

Oh, wait a minute. I get it. You think unpopular Supreme Court decisions are wrong and the decisions you agree with are correct.

Well. That's certainly an interesting interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. Juvenile, but interesting.

No, you seem to think that the SCOTUS is God like and infallible.

Some of us can think on our own and make up their own minds what is and isn't a correct SCOTUS ruling.

Why are decisions ALWAYS split when they're handed down?

Figures, you obviously don't understand the 10th either as I posted to you earlier.

Well. That's certainly an interesting interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. Juvenile, but interesting.

Where is it oh wise one in the Constitution that justifies Kelo?

No, he was merely pointing out that just because the Supreme Court “says so”, doesn’t make right.

No, Kelo is a patently obvious BAD decision; in it the court allowed as “for the public use” requirement of the 5th amendment to be filled by a PROJECTION of increased tax revenues.
This means that all the government has to do to justify taking someone’s property is to project that it will have some positive impact on revenue via taxation... as a not-so-stretched example, a government agent could take a little old lady’s classic Cadillac that she only uses on Sundays because they project that the public will benefit via the increase taxes of the vehicle being used more often than once a week and they could do it based just on the fuel-tax.
