Taking the farm

What were the Supremes thinking with yesterday's property rights decision?! Moreover, what were the typically non-rights-trampling Supremes thinking with their majority vote?!

I don't see this as a conservative issue or liberal issue. Whether you fall on the red side or blue side, this decision has the potential to have an huge impact on one of the basic foundations of this country - the right to own property. Jared at Stream of Consciousness has a good overview of the opinion and judicial breakdown.

Hooray for Justice O'Connor's dissent. Unfortunately, the other Justices seem to have lost their minds on this one.
