It's so odd because it was initially the "right" that condemned the Kelo ruling. Well, the "right" and the few principled of the left that are left.
Kelo deals with absolute ownership and throwing people out of their home. Standing Rock deals with an easement. Easements should be a simple concept; if the electric company wants to wire under your land, they can.

Pennsylvania granting the same argument successfully used in Ohio and WV. That if the pipeline is just going through the state that does not meet the standard of being a benefit for the people of that state.
