Brian Watkins over at Red State has some great law he's like to see amended into the US Constitution to reverse a string of bad decisions that have been handed down in the last several years...

Here's a taste:

The United States Supreme Court ruled this spring in Kelo v. New London (04-108, 2005) that states may take private property not only for use by the public (for ports or roads) but also to give the property to private corporations the state prefers over current owners. In this case the preferred owner was Pfizer but Wal-Mart and other giant retailers are common recipients also.

We should reverse the opinion of the court with a constitutional amendment like this,

No person shall be deprived of property without due process of law, nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.



There's more. Go, read them all and then tell me we don't have a problem at SCOTUS...
