One thing is certain in today's Kelo ruling: the so-called liberal wing of the Supreme Court loves government power, the recent decision on medicinal marijuana gave it away. Today's Kelo decision is a disaster. It is an opportunity for conspiring businessmen to use the willing levers of the state to trample on the property rights of anyone for any cause they deem necessary. I hope a future court disregards stare decis.
