The eminent domain deal in Texas that I mentioned in a post yesterday regarding the quest for a new hearing on the the Kelo case is no longer going to be happening. The state legislature in Austin passed a law that takes away the ability for towns to abuse their powers in such a manner. Texas did what the Supreme Court said they should do, they passed a law. I still don't understand why they had to since there's a clearly written one in the Constitution that should have blocked the town of Freeport from doing what they wanted to do anyway... That is until the SCOTUS decided that the Constitution doesn't mean what it means, or what the authors meant it to mean, it means absolutely nothing.
