[Amendment10]

"The Kelo decision was the right one to make, according to the way the law is written."

I agree. But there’s evidently a lot of patriots who still don’t understand constitutional division of federal and state government powers.

More specifically, unlike the federal government which is constitutionally limited to take land only for public use, many patriots don’t seem to understand that the states don’t need an excuse when they take private property. But the states now have to compensate the former landowner for the land because of the 14th Amendment

It’s up to the citizens of a given state to work with their state lawmakers to make laws to prevent cases like the Kelo case from happening again. But since they don’t know about state powers they probably haven’t done so.
