If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

"Kelo v. City of New London, 125 S. Ct. 2655 (2005)[1] was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States involving the use of eminent domain to transfer land from one private owner to another to further economic development. The case arose from the condemnation by New London, Connecticut of privately owned real property so that it could be used as part of a comprehensive redevelopment plan. The Court held in a 5-4 decision that the general benefits a community enjoyed from economic growth qualified such redevelopment plans as a permissible "public use" under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment.
The decision was widely criticized by American politicians and the general public, and was commonly seen as benefiting large corporations at the expense of individual homeowners and local communities."
So which carries more weight, the President or the Supreme Court?

Posted: 6/23/06 at 8:00pmI do not think this will have much, if any impact state's actions. The issues had often been local and state governments. This order only applies to federal agencies.

"This order only applies to federal agencies."
In other words, the precedent set in the Supreme Court's decision - leaving private property owners vulnerable to the whims of big business - still stands uncontested.
Bravo. Keep trumpeting, Goth.

Well, not exactly.
Remember, I am no Bush fan . . .
But he does not have the authority to amend the interpretation of the Constitution. Basically all he can do is say that federal agencies will not take advantage of the ruling.
And, private property owners are at the whims of local governnments and big business . . . it is a combo.
I am no expert on this issue though. Perhaps brdlwyr has a different perspective.

Posted: 6/24/06 at 12:51pmI don't know about imminent domain, but if it restricts the use of eminent domain, if only on the federal level, then it's a good thing.

Yes, it is a good thing, but I don't think it will have any really effect on state and local agencies, where most of the problems are occurring.
But, it is better than nothing.
