Is Kelo the leading case which eventually gets mandates upheld as constitutional?

[sharesunited]

Kelo is that eminent domain case in which the City of New London Connecticut used its eminent domain power to take land and transfer it to a private developer.

Held: That the general benefits to the community from prospective economic development are a sufficient public use to justify taking property.

3. On the Commerce clause, Gonzales v. Raich, 545 U.S. 1 (2005), surely.

The inapplicability of a takings-based analysis challenged here

4. Nice analysis.

5. Bingo! It's a Raich/Wickard. (Pretty tough to make healthcare

a Lopez/Morrison, i.e. healthcare as not commerce.)
