Who gave us the Kelo decision? The LIBERALS on the High Court: Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg, Breyer and liberal leaning swing voter Kennedy. Who dissented? CONSERVATIVE justices Rehnquist, Scalia, Thomas and conservative leaning swing voter O’Connor.

New London would never been able to steal Kelo’s property to give to developers if another conservative had been on the court. Remember this the next time you’re wondering who is on the side of individual liberty and the “little guy” and who’s most friendly to Big Brother government.

I’ve got a few acres on the moon… I hope they don’t take them when Wal Mart decides they want to put a billboard on my property.

What is known is that Kelo’s house will be moved. The most recent reports have indicated that Cristofaro’s house will stay. It is my belief that Kelo’s house will be moved next to Cristofaro’s and that both of them will remain at the NW edge of Ft. Trumbull along with a building called The Italian Dramatic Club, a gathering place for the high-powered and politically connected that was scandalously exempted from eminent domain six years ago.

Holdouts had agreed in principle with the idea of their house being moved within Ft. Trumbull several months ago. The holdup was whether in return for the move they would get titles to their houses.

Rell has been pushing for the holdouts getting immediate-family transfer titles, meaning they can pass the homes on to family members but that the city has the right of first refusal on attempted sales to anyone else.

IF Kelo and Cristofaro get such titles, I won’t call it a “win,” but I think it will be unfair to consider it a “loss,” esp for Cristofaro if it turns out as I anticipate. After a while, one learns that there are rarely total victories for either side in these kinds of things. The ultimate culprits are five Supreme Court Justices. With Roberts and Alito, an em-dom case will hopefully get there soon that will overturn Kelo.
