The Kelo Decision and Jeff Jacoby...

Jeff was livid on Sunday over the SC's Kelo Decision which granted broad powers of eminent domain to the municipalities.
And indeed, it is probably too great a grant of power to the localities (traditionally the most easily corrupted level of governance).
So yeah...Jeff thinks home seizures are bad.
Of course, he has nothing to say about bank foreclosures now does he?
When the City forcibly buys your house, dats a bad thing, when the Middlesex Bank and Trust seizes the house because your wife's brain tumor bankrupted the family, well...c'est la vie sayeth that Laughing Young Senescence.
This is the core of the current conservative dilemma, in a contest between ideology and justice or simple compassion versus agenda....agenda wins all the time.

Sick
Demented
Typical
