You Go, Sandra

I guess it's a moot point, but kudos to Justice Sandra Day O'Connor for taking a stand against yesterday's controversial Supreme Court ruling.

This is insanity. Think about it: let's say you bought a piece of land out in the country and you saw the potential development closing in. This completely clears the way for government to swoop down and just decide they can seize your land... so forget about any profit you could have made on your own property.

A highway is one thing, but eminent domain for commercial use? I don't get it. Someone please explain to me why this would be a good idea. And while you're at it... explain to me how this *doesn't* trample all over the fifth amendment.
