Good to see that Georgia is working on the issue, and evidently other states, including Pennsylvania, are looking to copy this legislation!

"With such a broad interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, America's highest court has opened the door for the destruction of our neighborhoods and has set a horrifying precedent."

It's good to see the states working on offsetting the problems caused by the recent SC decision.

Maybe people will now begin to realize that judges are fallible human beings that shouldn't be entrusted with absolute interpretation of The Constitution.

This is essential in PA because we can't trust Fast Eddie and his cronies not to come up with these types of schemes.

An even better piece of legislation is House Resolution 87, which would codify restrictions against eminent domain abuse in the Georgia Constitution, making it more difficult for some court to overturn the law. Of course, the constitutional amendment would have to be approved by a vote of the people.

The best solution is to pass BOTH, so that the statute takes effect immediately, but eminent domain should ultimately be restricted in the state constitution, making it much more difficult for a court to overturn it or for a future legislature to remove the restrictions.
