How do you feel about the Kelo decision - are you OK with Trumps opinion?
Oh, great...thanks...now you made me run off and do a bunch of reading. lol
Kelo turns out to be a pretty interesting case as I'm sure you know. I'm a Realtor so eminent domain can and is still an issue in my area from time to time.
The Kelo decision exposed a weakness in a vast majority of the state's laws regarding the use of eminent domain for 'economic development' and how that could be interpreted for development by private entities. This is apparently why the plaintiff never won in any of the courts. The lengthy legal process as well as the changing economnic conditions of the area really made Kelo look awful
As far as Trump's position on Kelo, at the time it was found to be legally correct so on that level I can't really argue with it. Face it, the laws sucked at that time. With the states clarifying their eminent domain laws, Kelo should not be duplicated.
On a local level, I've seen where landowners have had to fight for at least fair compensation on land seized under eminent domain and we have a famous case of a guy that got his land land-locked by the transportation department.
