Personally I think they deserve a lot worse for trampling your rights, Mrs. Kelo.

After the infamous SCOTUS decision, Kelo and her fellow holdouts were left with limited alternatives. After years of confrontation with the city of New London (and, indirectly, the state of Connecticut), she finally made a deal to sell her property to the city for a price several times more than she was initially offered. It also included an agreement whereby the city would translocate and rebuild her old house at another site, to be used as a museum/memorial for the anti-eminent domain abuse movement. Not sure what the status of the house is now.

An excellent book on the entire confrontation is Little Pink House, by Jeff Benedict, published by Grand Central Publishing.
