Wonder of wonders

I have never to my knowledge ever agreed with anything posted by Pejman Yousefzadeh except today in his thoughts on KELO AND ITS AFTERMATH:

I have no problem whatsoever with economic development. I love economic development. Economic development is a friend of mine. But this is utterly and completely the wrong way to go about it--both from a policy perspective and from a perspective of actually reading and hewing to original intent when it comes to takings.

My own sense of this -- and I will respond to JRoth's provocative comments (here) when I am not so tired -- is that Kelo is a decision with the possibility to catalyze further political realignment. Let's hope that the Democrats do some deep thinking and don't take the expected statist/big government response.
