For a Political Publication
Thursday 1 March 2012 - Filed under Uncategorized
For a political publication based in Washington DC, you’d think The Hill would know that Congress can’t “overturn” a Supreme Court decision no matter how many times they throw a penny in the pond.
The House on Tuesday afternoon approved legislation that overturns a 2005 Supreme Court decision that affirmed the ability of states to take control of private property under the doctrine of eminent domain and hand it to another private developer.
As laudable as their motive of trying to curb the most evil of government actions may be,1 this law, even if passed, won’t get rid of Kelo.

1. Of course I’m referring to government outright stealing property on a whim for any reason whatsoever, but specifically to government stealing private land from individuals so that it can be sold to another party.
