High court ruling causes backlash

The Chicago Tribune reports on the Kelo backlash:

In the five months since a divided Supreme Court allowed a Connecticut city to seize property for a private development, several states have lined up to ban or restrict the practice and dozens of others are expected to follow suit early next year.

The court effectively preserved the legal status quo, but the opinion--at least for the moment--has had the effect of a powerful landmark decision.

This might be a case as big as Lochner.
