I could make a few Monopoly or "Big Yellow Taxi" jokes...

...but I'm not gonna. The Supreme Court has handed down its long-awaited decision in Kelo v. City of New London. And liberals are still reeling from its 1-2 punch. Not only did the decision go against homeowner Susette Kelo, who was fighting the New London city government's eminent domain power, but the majority opinion in the 5-4 decision was written by none other than Justice Stevens, the grand-daddy of the liberal jurists on the high bench. Whoa.

I'll leave it to my colleagues on this blog to further dissect the decision, & I'll come back to rejoin the discussion later.
