I want some legal giant ( or giant wanna be ) to start drafting the Amendment to the Constitution that will properly safeguard Individual Property by clearly stating the definition of property, specifically land and the use of that land, limiting the scope of government burdens on the ownership and use of that property, define and limit the scope of eminent domain and the ability of government to seize property to include all of the ideas that have been expressed, ranted out of frustration and maybe include some logic and reason. Make it look like Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Adams, Ben Franklin and Condi Rice all got together and wrote it. Then present it via the internet and then have it published so that each and every citizen has a chance to vote on it as it is presented in its final state.
So, who is it out there that is up to such a challenge. Will it be Prof. Bainbridge or one of the lawyer bloggers, will it be the Captain who has quite a bit of influence, maybe one of the Little Green Footballers or per chance someone like Ross Kaminsky who writes one heck of a letter to the editor now and then? It sure won't be one of our elected spineless all mouth and no action Senators or Congressmen. Time to make your genius known to all, who ever you are.

June 27th update: I found an interesting "taker" to the challenge. Stephen at Hold the Mayo is in the process of writing "Open Source Amendment Project". Go take a look and leave some comments to the exceptional work he has on display.
