Kelo who?

The Cincinnati Enquirer editorializes that the decision by the Ohio Supreme Court in a recent eminent domain case "is a victory not only for private property owners, but for the rule of law and for common sense."Concludes the editorial: We need development and urban revitalization. We should encourage them. But they must be done fairly. Government cannot run roughshod over people and their rights with rigged legal procedures and manipulated standards. Ohio has recognized that there are things that matter more than fatter tax coffers or upscale shopping venues: home, family, traditions, community, memory - and liberty. It is a refreshing affirmation of values that speak to what America is about."
