The Supreme Court finally got the Kelo vs. New London eminent domain case today. The circumstances surrounding New London's use of the eminent domain law should make everyone involved at least a little bit squeamish. Boiled down, the city is attempting to take land for private economic development. Am I the only one that thinks that sounds Stalinist?

What the Supreme Court needs is a couple of Libertarian justices. This guy would be perfect, and this guy would be pretty darn good too.

Professor Bainbridge has a nice roundup and some clear headed thoughts on the case.
