This is going to make big headlines in Michigan, where the memory of GM's Poletown plant still burns hot. An entire neighborhood was devestated when the place was shoved down the throats of citizens, and the Michigan Supreme Court finally ruled it was a wrongful taking...far too late to do any good.

This is VERY bad news. Just which so-called "justices" voted for this?

It's bad when even the Michigan Supreme Court has more damn sense than the "Supreme" Court.




My guess is the 5 included Ruth Bader Denseburg, Anthony Kennedy, Stephen Breyer and David Souter.

I'd also bet the minority includes Scalia, Thomas, Rehnquist.

Tough to tell from one day to the next where Sandy Day ("I get my guidance from Europe") O'Connor would come down on an issue like this.

In case noone else answered...

Stevens, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg, and Breyer, JJ., joined. Kennedy, J., filed a concurring opinion. O’Connor, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which Rehnquist, C. J., and Scalia and Thomas, JJ., joined. Thomas, J., filed a dissenting opinion.
