legislation was passed where the state can confiscate private land and resell it to 3rd parties.

Au contraire! That was judicial activism, not legislation. Another bad day at the SCOTUS.

It was both. Unconstitutional legislation at the state level, upheld by judicial activist (or as I like to say: Constitutional Perversionist) judges.

I was talking about La. when I said they passed legislation to take a person's property and sell it to a third party. Sorry I wasn't clearer on that point.
