Well, it's better than nothing, but it seems to use a lot of words to not really change the issue.

It misses the central point: is it sufficiently "in the public interest" to increase the tax base? That is what the whole issue revolves around, and this order doesn't really address that directly.

As it applies to the federal government and not the local
government I don't think the tax question is the issue.
The greater issue is in the political realm IE when
President Clinton was taking private property like the
instance in Utah with the coal mines and creating national
parks or wildlife reserves.
The next step would be to hand it over to the U.N.

It is interesting that almost as many libs as conservatives are annoyed by Kelo and it's implications. As I wasn't really very cognizant of national politics in 1973 I can recall no SOCTUS decision giving me quite the sick, kicked in the gut sensation.
