How about the liberal Supreme Courts

overturned and it will be.

Not quite accurate. Seven of the nine Justices on that "liberal" Supreme
Court, were appointed by Republicans. Secondly, while I think the ruling
was a travesty, the New London Development Corporation was "a private
nonprofit entity established some years earlier to assist the City in
planning economic development", but it hardly fits most people's
definition of a "private developer." The ruling hinged on "public use",
not private gain.
