The "liberal" justices are responsible for this decision that allows developers to take the homes of people who work for a living, but the kool-aid drinkers will continue their drum-beat that conservatives are grinding their heels into the faces of the working class, blah blah blah.
Also, you'll hear a lot about how the states should pass legislation protecting homeowners. . . won't work. All a grifting developer has to do is appeal, invoke Kelo (stare decisis) and the 14th amendment. (Then write some more checks.)
Next time a "liberal" pulls that "We're the party of the People!" bull on you, two word response: eminent domain.

I agree this is a horrendous decision, but ED/private property protections are still an available option for States. From the majority opinion:

"We emphasize that nothing in our opinion precludes any State from placing further restrictions on its exercise of the takings power. Indeed, many States already impose "public use" requirements that are stricter than the federal baseline."
