Eminently sensible: Another small victory for property rights
Desert Dispatch, Guest Editorial (Orange Country Register):
After arguments were heard in the landmark eminent domain case now under consideration by the U.S. Supreme Court, Kelo v. City of New London (Conn.), we were dismayed by the tone of questioning from most of the court's justices. They expressed little sympathy for the homeowners being driven from their homes to make way for new private development, and seemed unwilling to make distinctions between using eminent domain for public use and for private gain.
Whatever the justices decide this summer, hope remains that abuses can be rolled back and property rights enhanced.
