The Capital Times actually wrote an editorial I agree with. It turns out the Supreme Court has managed to find a way to unify the country in outrage over the Kelo decision.
Editorial: Seizing property: “Before the Fourth of July congressional break, the U.S. House voted 365-33 to express "grave disapproval ... regarding the majority opinion of the Supreme Court in the case of Kelo et al. v. City of New London et al. that nullifies the protections afforded private property owners in the takings clause of the Fifth Amendment."I notice that the Editorial is unsigned so this may mean that Uber-Left Editor John Nichols could not bring himself to sign off on the concept of limited government power. Looking over the actual vote count it is interesting to note Rep. Nancy Pelosi didn’t vote. Perhaps her staff is still keeping her closeted away in a small room still trying to explain to the Democratic House Leader that a Supreme Court decision is not the will of God, or maybe she can’t bring herself to commit to limited government power either.
All eight Wisconsin House members voted in favor of the resolution. And when U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Janesville, line up on the same side of an issue, it quickly becomes obvious that the political will exists to pass legislation to overturn this atrocious court ruling.”
