believe the property rights issue left an out where state legislatures could essentially step in and create standards whereby arbitrary "taking" wouldn't happen. That's true. I remember it well. whether one trusts the feds or their state governments more. I don't think that's the issue. States are even less trustworthy than the feds, IMO, because they are less professional. The issue is centralization vs decentralization. Even the monolithic and powerful federal administrative systems recognize the value of permitting demonstration projects before making nation-wide changes. Research and prudence. Pragmatic, not doctrinaire. Comments I have heard from the conservative judges on the Supreme Court basically said that Roe v. Wade is sufficiently established as part of our judicial history that they don't see it being repealed outright. My original point was about how one perceives this issue depending on when one thinks one has the power to impose or not.
