Where have you been? Don't you remember the recent Supreme Court
decision that states it is legal for government to condemn private
property for no other reason than so it can be sold to a developer in
order to increase the tax base? A total abuse of the eminent domain
principle.

Hey, Wilbur: What was the makeup of the Court that approved that
extension
of emminent domain? And who exactly were the people pushing for that
decision so that they could take over and develp somebody else's
private property?

Five liberal justices voted in favor of the right to take the property.
Four justices voted against. The five voting for were appointed by
Democrat Presidents. The four voting against by Republican presidents.

It was the developers who sued to take away the land. I don't know their
political affiliation.
