Anthony Gregory has a nice piece on Kelo, Why the Supreme Court Should Have Just Shut Up. As I told T-dog: “But of course, I agree with you. I never said Kelo was a good decision. I am saying like you, that in my view they should have just stayed out of it–“shut up,” as you call it. Also–I am responding to libertarians who oppose the decision on the grounds that the Constitution requires them to overturn the Connecticut law.”
