Many from across country voice support for plaintiffs
South Jersey Courier-Post: Many individuals who are living under threat of eminent domain made the trek to D.C. yesterday to wittness the oral arguments of Kelo v. New London.
The reporter found, "at least one person waiting to get into the Supreme Court on Tuesday morning supported New London's effort." "Representing Brooklyn" in the gallery was BUILD's own Marie Louis.
"We don't want people to lose sight of the fact that sometimes eminent domain is needed to spur economic development," said Marie Louis, 30, of Brooklyn. "We're facing 55 percent unemployment in some sections of downtown Brooklyn."
