Should States decide upon public domain, visualize this:
Who's the majority, those with or those without property?
The majority wins, and we enter the period of tyranny by a majority mob.
A Republic based on a Constitution has just been declared dysfunctional by a Constitution altering 5:4 Supreme Court decision.
Voters, on guard, when filling Supreme and other court vacancies.

The line from the end of the article says it all.

We need Justices that understand that the public good is best served by preserving the rights of private citizens.

The dreadful Kelo case did not have to be decided this way; the left-leaning Justice Anthony Kennedy (perhaps best known for his belief that he can use foreign law to decide US cases) sits on the court today because Democrats in the Senate defeated the conservative nominee Robert Bork in 1987.

What makes him think that Bork would have ruled any differently? The man can't read the plain words of the Second Amendment; what magic would improve his reading comprehension when he got to the Fifth?
