The way I read the decision, the Supremes said it was a local decision and if they legislature wants to rein in the developers, they can.
Absolutely. And no one gets this.
Did they declare that double jeopardy and forcing people to testify against themselves were local options too?
Is it only the federal government that can't deprive someone of life or liberty without due process?
Riiiight. I can just see the NJ legislature falling all over itself to rein in developers.
The only way this happens is if enough people get in touch with their representatives and tell them that they don't want the state, county or city to be able to exercise eminent domain based on "economic" reasons, and the only way that happens is if this stays in the news.
