kelo revisited



so ya think the kelo decision only hurts those living in blighted communities and the working class? think again. state governments are now emboldened to exercise eminent domain over anyone. if new jersey is considering exercising eminent domain over this rich muthafucka because he didn't agree with their suggestions for developers, what makes you think the middle class is safe? then again, it's new jersey, where corruption is a virtue.

okay, lemme ask a question. why is the broad reading of eminent domain powers associated with liberal thought? i mean, these are jersey democrats considering exercising eminent domain over this dude. also, the "liberal" members of the supreme court were the ones who decided kelo in the first place. even if you're the leftiest of lefties and you believe that seizing things for the "public good" is justified, how does taking land to benefit private developers advance the "public good"? can someone explain this to me before my head pops?
