A SCOTUS Decision That Wealthy Developers Here Would Applaud...

[via Instapundit] A decision by the Supreme Court of the United States rules that even at great inconvenience, wealthy developers can seize your property if they want it!!!!

Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who has been a key swing vote on many cases before the court, issued a stinging dissent. She argued that cities should not have unlimited authority to uproot families, even if they are provided compensation, simply to accommodate wealthy developers.

"Any property may now be taken for the benefit of another private party, but the fallout from this decision will not be random," O'Connor wrote. "The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate influence and power in the political process, including large corporations and development firms."

Wow, so if you buy it, you really don't own the property, do you?? The wealthy developers here would love to have that power too.
