You state: Taking of property for "public use" is in the Constitution and the interpretation of public use as a ‘public purpose,’ has been supported by the courts since the 19th century.
If this is the case, why were so many smart people upset with this Court's interpretation of 'public use'? I believe that Kelo was a departure from the previous definition of 'public use'.
I don't go by what other people think. Sorry.

You're from NY. In NY, the taking blighted private property using E.D. has been going on for yearssss.
But what the heck. I can't compete with "so many smart people", now can I.
