No News Good News?

The Supreme Court issued six rulings today, but there is still no word on Kelo v. New London. (In case you don't remember that was the eminent domain case. The court is deciding if it is ok for the government to seize property from poorer people in order to give it to wealthier people. Nice, eh?) It seems they are taking a good long time to decide this one. After the oral arguments back in February it looked like the court wasn't gonna waste much time and affirm the state's power of eminent domain as damn near asolute. So I'm a little bit surprised a ruling hasn't been handed down yet.

It might be a slender thing on which to hold out much hope, but last winter things looked hopeless.

C'mon SC! Shock the hell out of me... Do the right thing.
