Think about it another way. When the project gets disapproved by the local government, the developer can potentially sue claiming he was denied his rights under the recent Kelo decision. Let that one get to the USSC and we will see some fast revision of justice.

And I liked Steyn's column on the subject using the idea that Federal lands are underutilizing their potential tax revenue and should thus be taken. It could get really interesting.

" Federal lands are underutilizing their potential tax revenue and should thus be taken."

That was my thinking...nothing like taking the Supreme Court building to build a strip mall to generate some tax revenue. Afterall, the Supremes aren't generating any tax revenue and it has that "Godly" message called the 10 Commandants (illegal I might add) craved in it.
