and use it for development.
Hint - so the cities could generate more revenue due to the higher value and tax rate associated with the new property once it's developed.
Justice Stevens was joined in the majority by Justices Anthony M. Kennedy, David H. Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer. BTW, everyone is a liberal.
Today they evicted the last home owners on a parcel in New London, Conneticutt - a liberal haven in itself.
In a way, they got what they deserved by continuing to support these scum bag liberal politicians who inturn nominate and approve of liberal judges.
Will these scum bag liberals stop at nothing to get taxes. One wonam who was evicted from her house was born in it in 1918.

drmanjo2010- John Paul Stevens, Anthony Kennedy,and David Souter are conservatives? Kennedy yes. Souter and Stevens, right!! Rather than taking the lame *** approach of seeing who nominated them, get off your lazy *** and look at their records on conservative/liberal issues.
Why do you think liberals were pissing and moaning when O'Connor, a Reagan appointee, stepped down. Try not to be quite so simplistic and biased in your answers. Some people look to these answers for the truth.

Surely you're not implying that liberals should know right from wrong?
Is there some sort of toxic, mind altering cloud cover down your way that I should be worried about? I'm only about 120 miles away, you know.... fair warning? Should I be watching the sky to the SW?

In Kelo v. City of New London, Court held in a 5-4 decision that the general benefits a community enjoyed from economic growth qualified such redevelopment plans as a permissible "public use" under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. On June 23, 2005 Justice John Paul Stevens wrote the majority opinion; he was joined by Justices Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.
John Paul Stevens was appointed by Ford a republican. Anthony Kennedy was appointed by Ronald Reagan. David Souter was appointed by George H. W. Bush. True Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed by Carter and Stephen Breyer by Clinton but 3 of the 5 justices were nominated by Republicans. So you might want to investigate your facts.

Ginsburg and Breyer are considered to be the liberal wing of the Supreme Court. Souter is considered a moderate (i.e. he pisses off both conservatives and liberals); Kennedy, though a conservative, is considered a centrist; Stevens, while left of center, is not considered a "liberal"--in fact, he's considered to be a "wild card" on the Court, with unpredictable votes.
That being said, I completely disagree with this eminant domain crap. The conservative judges ALSO voted for this.

They were asked to interpret a law. Yes, a poorly written and just plain crappy law but, as they found, an enforceable one. Many states have now passed well written eminent domain laws that are far fairer to the private citizen.

You don't have a clue, do you? This was the Republican conservative court giving preference to government actions and to hell with individuals. If you think that is a conservative result, you should seek psychiatric help; you are delusional.

You conservatives often say that liberals want to run everyone life... so clearly that's why they voted for it... hahaha
But the real question is... why did the conservatives vote for it? They should stay out of the "people's business"... .less government... remember...

Best use for all of society is a valid reason. It may not seem "fair", but we all know that life is not fair.

To hell with eminent domain, it's just theft justified by "state privilege".
