Why you haven't heard about much eminent domain lately

It's partly because the "landmark" Kelo ruling in Connecticut turned out to be a total disaster, as even the politicians have had to admit.

Seized property sits vacant nine years after landmark Kelo eminent domain case

Remember? "Justice" Souter of the Extreme Court wanted some land a working-class neighborhood handed over to his developer buddies, so the Noxious Nine sat in their black robes in Washington and decreed that the land it sat on should be seized. Truly, this was one of the blackest days in modern legal history.

But do read the article on how wrong the "justices" were proven to be, and what wonderful resistance sprang up to the ruling across the country on a classic de-facto states rights basis. But since politicians never admit to any wrongdoing, the dispossessed homeowners remain the dispossessed -- America's forgotten Palestinians as it were.

Thank God America keeps its eyes focused on what really matters -- bringing "democracy" to Afghanistan.
