This is going to impact small businessmen adversly which explains why Republicans are largely against this ruling.
As a result of this bad decision, many small busness people might find their businesses Eminently Domained out of business to make way for a new Super-Walmart* of the future that has greesed the local politicians and wooed the community with empty promises of "urban renewal" and "great paying jobs".
Will those displaced small businesses be give only the value of their real property as "just compensation" or will they be given the full value of their businesses? Who really decides what is fair value in these cases?
This SC decision has opened a can of worms.
