Texas Sen. John Cornyn has introduced legislation designed to curb some Kelo excesses. The legislation would clarify government’s exercise of its power of eminent domain to be limited only for public use. ‘Public use’ shall not be construed to include economic development.

Over at Radioblogger.com there is a transcript of a portion of yesterday's Hugh Hewitt show and a discussion/debate between John Eastman and Erwin Chemerinsky over the Supreme Court decisions. I found this portion noteworthy: Hugh Hewitt: Let me ask you both. I got a Hamilton quote, which is familiar to many people, sent to me. […]
I've taken the time to sit down and read the some of the dissents and opinions in the two split decisions on the Ten Commandments cases today affecting displays in Kentucky and Texas.

Even those whom you could once count on being as on the sensible center-left like Andrew Sullivan [third item] appear to have chosen instead to dive head first into America-hating insanity.
