"The U.S. Supreme Court ruling has made the awesome power of eminent domain a renewed area of intense public concern and it's getting the attention it deserves from state leaders."

I hardly doubt there'd be any mention from lawmakers had a certain Washington Elitist's property not been proposed for eminent domain confiscation.

No. I take the sudden legislative concern as no more than protectionist action in favor of their own as nothing they now do will right the wrong inflicted by that eminemt tribunal upon the folks of New London, Connecticut.

I would be surprised if Gov.Sanford or any South Carolina state politican gives a rat's patooty about Souter's little shack.

As with every issue in the forefront of the news, politicians always appear eager to "attack and solve" the problem, riding the publicity wagon to it's fullest extent.

Constituents, lulled into believing their elected representitives are actually listening to their concerns, let their guard down until it's too late.

As with every politician, it's all about re-election and the illusion of care and concern.
