Matthew D. Brinckerhoff, who argued for property owners opposed to the deal, said he would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court."We're certainly disappointed. We believe the decision is wrong. And we think it will present an opportunity for the Supreme Court to re-examine the use of eminent domain," he said. "This case is all about their ability to forcibly take my client's property."
He said the plaintiffs will sue in state court if the federal case is rebuffed.
