Trickle-Down Jurisprudence

by Steven Geoffrey Gieseler

Now eminent domain is the topic for high school debates in Florida.  Unthinkable, as far as I know, pre-Kelo. 

I myself was a high school debater in Florida less than a decade ago, and eminent domain didn't exactly dominate discussion.  (I once spent a session arguing that Sam Cooke was "better" than The Beatles.  He was.)  So the event recounted in the linked article is a step in the right direction, to be sure.
