"Still, the dissenters provided a useful reminder that eminent domain must not be used for purely private gain."

No, it is merely correct thinking, not the result of the ruling.

More than that, it is about the protection of Constitutional rights of ownership. This ruling is a direct attack on the Constitution in an attempt to broaden the power of government property seizure. It will open the door to every corrupt local government and property developers for the purpose of taxation revenue enhancement and captial gain. It is Pandora's Box for the citizenry of this country.

this is the same point of view that i heard on the radio expressed by judge kennedy.

they're trying to justify it by saying it's first in the best interest of the community, and that the community will ensure that it's not abused. this is b.s.

"it takes a village to raise a child to steal your house."
