Friend of the court briefs filed in support of City of New London
The following is a complete list of groups who have filed friend of the court briefs in the case before the US Supreme Court of Kelo v. New London ("interested parties" who support Ratner's proposal are in bold, "BUILD et al." available for download):
New York State Urban Development Corporation (dba Empire State Development Corporation)
Massachusetts Chapter of National Association of Industrial and Office Properties
Brooklyn United for Innovative Local Development (BUILD), et al.
Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, et al.
American Planning Association, et al.
Connecticut
National League of Cities, et al.
California Redevelopment Association
Mayor and City Council of Baltimore
Law Professors Robert H. Freilich, et al.
City of New York
US Supreme Court docket No. 04-108
NoLandGrab: Conspicuously absent from this list is the White House. Rumors were flying around DC for the past few weeks that the White House intended on filing a friend of the court brief supporting the New London Development Corporation. Liberals howled that this was evidence of Bush's "ownership society." Conservatives cringed at the thought that the Bush administration would turn its back on a key conservative cause.
