re: The power of imminent domain...
"this case probably reaches the bright line of when acquiring private property for a public purpose is or is not constitutional."
But the new ground is that now a PRIVATE corporation can sieze the property. Very different from a municipality making public good siezures for roads, schools, etc. The specific case resulted in more tax $ going to the local govt. What municipality can resist the temptation to oust Mom & Pop business & homes for big tax revenue projects?
The only part of the decision I agree with is that the SCOTUS left decision making to the localities, not the Federal courts. Wonder why the 180 in their behaviour relative to this issue? Normally, most everything goes to the Feds, but not in this instance. Strange.
