59. Wrong...
Edited on Tue Jun-28-05 02:37 PM by youspeakmylanguage
From your post...

Two choices, limit the scope of eminent domain handing a property rights victory to the wealthy right or allow a disgusting but arguably constitutional law go through.

From the Washington Post...

While municipal leaders say O'Connor's view is unrealistic, people who have fought eminent domain say it's already here.

"Now that they've got carte blanche to do whatever they want, they will," said Dick Saha, 75, who in May won a six-year fight to keep Coatesville, Pa., from seizing his farm.

"We have four horses. My two daughters have some land we gave them and the grandkids come down and ride the horses," Saha said. The town, he said, "decided they needed our property for a golf course."


I wonder if this poor SOB knew he was part of the "wealthy right". I'm sure it was the "poor left" that was interested in using his land to develop a golf course.
