For those who wondered how far public officials would try to go in eminent-domain seizures following the Supreme Court's outrageous Kelo decision, the case to watch is the one involving the exclusive Long island country club. Officials want to take it because they think it's a darn nice place and they want to run it themselves, as a public golf course. That's pretty much just taking something from the few and giving it to "everybody." I don't like to throw the term "Commie thugs" around, but there you are. Indiana, thanks to the work of people like Rep. Dave Wolkins, is one of the states acting to tighten up eminent-domain rules after Kelo. That's such a big deal that in most year's it might have been touted as the highlight of the legislative session. But this wasn't most years.
