Reclaiming my time, rather than giving actual rights to people in the position of Mrs. Kelo or Mrs. Coking, who is going to be forced out of her house in Atlantic City, this, instead, places a very broad burden on the government and in such a way that it, I think, renders the whole legislation constitutionally suspect. Mr. Speaker, don't we have constitutional decisions that say the government or Congress can't go so far as to punish an entire State government for something that one municipality does? Doesn't it seem like it is sort of going nuclear in order to get a mosquito? I yield to the gentleman from New York. {time} 1600
