"Where is it oh wise one in the Constitution that justifies Kelo?"

I never said Kelo was justified. Only that it's the law of the land.

Kelo was wrong on many levels. It was based on the takings clause of the fifth amendment. In my opinion, the takings clause of the fifth amendment does not apply to the states, just as the Grand Jury clause of the fifth amendment does not apply to the states.

The U.S. Supreme Court, therefore, should not have heard this case. Rather, the decision should have been left to the Connecticut Supreme Court based on the Connecticut state constitution.

Ah, so YOU disagree with SCOTUS on this one too.

How juvenile!
