TCS: Tech Central Station - They Can't Take That Away From Me... Unless They Can
A great article on Kelo and eminent domain, from law professor Stephen Bainbridge. Here's a great line:

After news of Napoleon's victory in the Battle of Austerlitz was conveyed to British Prime Minister William Pitt, Pitt pointed to a map of Europe and said: "Roll up the map; it will not be wanted these ten years." In light of the Supreme Court's decision to side with New London, we might just as well roll up the Takings Clause of the Bill of Rights, because we won't need it any longer.
