Eminent Domain: Obviously, the Court was Wrong!

It seems to me that the sudden rush of local municipalities to use eminent domain for the purpose of taking property from one private owner to give to another makes it clear that court was wrong in their decision. Many are trying to get actions in before their states pass laws to prevent such actions. It is obvious that these actions are not “business as usual” but like a child with a new toy that it knows is soon to be taken away.

The courts made a decision that caught the country by surprise. How limits on eminent domain could be taken for granted by those on the left and right be somehow overlooked by the five most liberal justices on the court is beyond me, but not unexpected. It is one of the reasons I started voting Republican years ago.
