Eminently satisfying

Jon passed along a link to a Kim du Toit post on the backlash at the state level against the US Supreme Court's farcical Kelo ruling:

I emphasized Connecticut, because that state was home to the horrible Kelo decision which led to all this.

The Washington Times article notes that this backlash against the Supremes has not had much play in the "established" media — no doubt because of new developments in Aruba — but I'l bet that the state politicians have had a storm of letters and calls from irate citizens to tell them to pass laws which restrict "eminent domain" abuse by towns and cities.

If the response from my Readers is any indication, both in terms of volume and intensity, the lawmakers suddenly were confronted with the fangs of the beast, and rushed to fix the problem.
