Homeowners Lose Eminent Domain Case
Institute for Justice Warns: Supreme Court Leaves Homeowners Vulnerable To Tax-Hungry Bureaucrats & Land-Hungry Developers
..."Any property may now be taken for the benefit of another private party, but the fallout from this decision will not be random. The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate influence and power in the political process, including large corporations and development firms.” Justice O'Connor, Supreme Court Decision, 23 June 2005, Kelo et al v. City of New London, 04-108
