I love how you accept that state courts will overturn these laws as fait acompli. It is by no means assured that these new laws will be ruled unconstitutional, especially in the face of the public outrage that the Kelo decision raised.
If you haven't read it already, I suggest that everyone take the time to sit down and read the actual decision.

As Ace's article mentioned, there's an almost overt invitation to the states to rule otherwise and set their own standards.
