Kelo v. City of New London

Susette Kelo's legal battle with New London, Conn. brought about one of the most controversial and troubling Supreme Court rulings in many many years. But her fight also spurred a backlash among property owners and state legislatures. Susette Kelo now lives in a town across the river from New London.

I absolutely hate this ruling. We need a much stricter interpretation of the constitution if we think that what New London did was ok.

[@dmmchugh3714]

Never think the government will actually defend the individual.

[@MrAaronvt]

hmm my property 2 final is tomorrow; poor Kelo, at least she will live on forever in the minds of law students and the pages of casebooks

Bruh, same but 7 years later

A line must be drawn some wheres within our legal system... the Government democracy to "protect" the people is doing just the opposite... America should be better than this...

[@Crazypower274]

Eminent Domain should have been tossed with all of the other royalist bullshit when the constitution was being written. All of the sovereign immunity crap should have be discarded.

This is a STATE'S RIGHTS issue - under the laws of Connecticutt, the state had the power to did what it did... Should they have done this? Assuredly not. But it was - I repeat - WAS - LEGAL. It is the job of the PEOPLE to DEMAND THEIR LEGISLATURES REVOKE/REVISE SUCH LAWS. And you know what?? Now many states have...

[@Montfortracing]

@jpsartrean How is this a states' rights issue? The fourteenth amendment of the US Constitutiton forbids states to take "life, liberty and property without due process of the law...". Even if the law was legal, that doesn't necessarily means it's good policy.

When you lose the moral high ground of Maxine waters, it's time reconsider your entire life This the most abhorrent scotus decision in the last 30 years.

[@EricCanterra]

Not in a trillion years would I ever imagine agreeing with a position that Mad Maxine has taken.

Is it true that they eventually turned the land into a landfill? This whole thing is just wrong.
