He points out the essential issue with Kelo, that:
Justice Thomas understood that the Court’s action in itself is unconstitutional, a “dangerous” act because the American people now have no other recourse to regain control of their property rights except by another amendment to the Constitution.

It's time we stopped electing legislators who know the law, but are ignorant of our country's history. We need legislators who are informed citizens, and have a feel for what America is. We've been putting "elite leaders" in office, who protect their contributors, but somehow don't see the "common man" (and woman) as their ultimate boss. We don't need any more Progressives, who see their public service as a means of bringing the rabble into line with what they "know" they should want. We need some new Populists - people with average lives, who will always consider what the Founders intended for the common people.

One thing about the Founders is that they had a cynical eye toward government which many in the modern era appear to have lost. They planned not for a perfect government, but for a limited and correctable one.
