I think Orin Kerr pretty much nailed this:

"The opinions in Kelo remind me a lot of the opinions in Gonzales v. Raich. The Court has once again reaffirmed the academic common wisdom — in Raich, that the commerce clause power is virtually limitless, and in Kelo, that almost everything is a public use. Both cases involved the same type of line-drawing challenge, in which the Constitution requires a line to be drawn but it's pretty hard to draw such a line in practice. (It's difficult to distinguish interstate commerce from intrastate commerce and commerce from non-commerce, and it's difficult to distinguish public use from private use.) In both cases, the Stevens majority opinion recognized that a line existed in theory, but put it so far out of the way that it won't bother anyone."

I would add Eldred to the mix. Other than that Stevens dissented there.

Just wait.... This isn't really knew with pro sports but I just can't wait for the day when you hear about Wal Mart trying to get property to build new stores....

And I believe that day is going to come... They want to expand and further saturate markets they are already in, and with this ruling I coudl see them trying to get good locations by way of eminent domain....
