If anything good came of Kelo, it was the furious nationwide backlash, which led a number of states — Massachusetts, unfortunately not among them — to pass new laws protecting property owners from abusive eminent-domain takings. But such still happens, and will go on happening until Kelo is overruled.

I take it the author doesn't like Federalism or the Tenth Amendment. IMO, Kelo was correctly decided, regardless of the outrage perpetrated by the City of New London. Be careful what you wish for if you want the Feds securing your rights against the States.

The power to tax is the power to destroy. The "public purpose" that Bader-Gingsberg and whathisname from NH, Souter, harped on was the alleged increased property taxes as the "public purpose".

I'm disagreeing that Kelo was decided correctly.

The pro-judges saying effectively saying that if the "victims" don't like it, they could vote the the perpetrating rascals out.

Curious as to why you believe Kelo was correctly decided.
