In a promising yet largely symbolic development, the House of Representatives passed the Private Property Rights Protection Act yesterday. It's still before the Senate. Basically, it consists of 2 parts:
1. It expresses alarm about the Kelo decision from the Supreme Court.
2. It prohibits federal funding, subsidy or tax breaks for any taking of land for non-public use. They also define what constitutes "public use."
The Senate version is here. (http://www.theorator.com/bills109/s1895.html)
