Eminent Domain issue from Florida Craker website
It's hard to believe the Supreme Court would sign off on cities using eminent domain for private developments. What a vile ruling from John Paul Stevens, Anthony Kennedy, David H. Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer. Presidents Ford, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton all bought pigs in a poke.
The only remedy now will be for states to use their own laws to clamp down hard on cities or they'll be like kids in a candy store.
Institute for Justice attorney Dana Berliner sums up the situation:
"If jobs and taxes can be a justification for taking someone's home or business, then no property in America is safe. Anyone's home can create more jobs if it is replaced by a business, and any small business can generate greater taxes if replaced by a bigger one."
