After Kelo I have lost all faith in the Court. I know it’s make up is different but not by much.
The problem in Kelo was CONNECTICUT. The “Takings Clause” in the Fifth Amendment applies to the Federal Government. Most of the states have a comparable clause in their own constitutions. Connecticut does not.
By caving, it would seem that SCOTUS would abdicate ALL judicial review authority forever.
To allow an unconstitutional mandate to stand is to relegate themselves into a rubber-stamp bunch of dressed up fools.
