Just reading over the decision, it seems as if the court was unwilling to trump the state precedent for ED already in place. Isn't that the good people of CT's fault for having such a provision in place?

How is it the people of CT's fault? I don't think CT gets to vote on these provisions. I know we can't in my state.
In a pre 14th Ammendment America that would be true. But since the 14th makes the Bill of Rights apply to the states too they should have to respect the 5th Ammendment and it's "public use" takings clause.
I take just a little comfort in the thought that most of the abuse will be in blue states like Connecticut.
