Didn't Souter just uphold their right to do this in the recent eminent domain decison?

No kidding? How does that work there? When the TVA acquired land from people, were they paid market value for it?

I understand what eminent domain is, and the difference between taking land for a highway vs. for condos, but that is about the extent of my knowledge on the subject.
