Reply #6: And the Kelo decision just propels it faster

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

The horrific Supreme Court decision said that it was acceptable for a government entity to use eminent domain to facilitate the transfer of privately owned property to another PRIVATE entity if that second entity could be seen as having a positive purpose, i.e higher taxes created or creating employment. As Sandra Day O'Connor said (paraphrase) "Every Motel Six desired by Hilton could be at risk " The apologists for the decision always say that state government can create stronger eminent domain laws but I say that is small comfort. State legislatures are even more likely to be corruptible and swayed by loud voices in small ponds, not to mention that the laws can change when the legislature changes.

Kelo is just a monstrosity and it was brought about by the LIBERAL members of the Supreme Court, believe it or not. It needs to be overturned.
