These Times, That Kelo Decision

For more proof that the backlash against the Kelo decision and eminent domain abuse is bedeviling the left, check out this story from In These Times:

The libertarian right, which is at odds on this issue with the big-business conservatives who benefit from eminent domain and tax breaks, clearly hopes that it can ride this issue into battle against all regulatory restrictions on property rights. The left must do more than simply join the opposition to the misuse of government power on behalf of corporate interests against homeowners and small businesses. It needs to pursue comprehensive reforms that preserve essential powers of local governments but make them better serve the needs of their citizens.

Rots of ruck fellas.

Whole thing here.
