A grassroots movement has sprung up across the country.

The Kelo case has done more harm to the integrity of the Supreme Court, and the judiciary in general, than any other case in modern times. Even abortion, with its mass killings, hasn't had the effect of Kelo. Which is another way of saying that Americans value their personal property more than the lives of the unborn.

That the elitist judges who live in a different universe are now being rebuffed at the grassroots level is good; that nothing is being done to make sure they don't further erode the Constitution is bad.

The judges who sit on the Court, and make decisions that effect all of our lives, are considered by most to be sacrosanct. They aren't. Until people treat judges like the politicians they are our rights will continue to be eroded.

I think you are unduly critical of Americans in what you say. There is a big difference, even under Roe nobody is FORCED to have an abortion, under Kelo one can be forced to surrender their real property, so that is a big difference.
