Eminent domainia! Cheney vic, battling ed abuse
This comment about VP Cheney's shooting victim from The Wall Street Journal Law Blog:
[Harry Whittington, Esq.] is an Austin, Texas, lawyer currently fighting a battle against his hometown, which has attempted to condemn a downtown block he and his family own to build a parking garage. That’s right, according to the Austin American-Statesmen, Cheney’s hunting buddy is one of the crusaders battling against the Supreme Court’s controversial Kelo decision, in which the Court allowed private eminent domain “takings” for economic development purposes.
Justice Scalia, Cheney’s other hunting buddy and a dissenter in Kelo, would be proud.
