- How did a terrible Supreme Court decision on eminent domain spark a backlash that left millions of Americans with better protections against government takings? Dana Berliner, Scott Bullock and Ilya Somin explain how the Kelo case ultimately helped spark a vibrant debate about when the government should be able to take property for public use.

This is a national disgrace.
What ever happened to life, liberty, and property?
she should move back and squat the land and adverse possession
I could see the 3%ers getting behind that.
She moved across the Thames River to Groton (from New London) following this mandatory eminent domain-- she and her husband were allowed to take some things from the yard before the houses were destroyed. As for Pfizer backing out because of the all the publicity - NEGATIVE. CT has one of the worst taxes- plus they were getting ready for a merger to save their own financial asses. It is ridiculous what the state of CT would do to screw over their tax paying citizens. I was lucky enough to live next door to Susette and her husband for 2 yrs.
@therockkkkher They didnt destroy it, she sold it for $1 to a guy who wanted to move it and make it a museum. It's now located at 33 Franklin Street New London CT
New London, CT. is one of the biggest clusterf*cks of a town in our entire country. Always has-been, and will remain-so. Me? I lived there once
- never again!
Does that make it OK to force people from their homes?
Public perception of that land being stolen, made it impossible to build anything there. Their investors probably bailed, not wanting to be associated with this project.
I read that Pfizer was not able to secure funding for the plan and so could not move ahead.
@@dmmchugh3714 no, Pfizer built their facility on land they bought for reduced price. the building is still there, they left though. the money for the fort Trumbull redevelopement came rom the state of Connecticut and was going to be built by the NLDC.
Thanks CATO - I'll talk about this on air today.
Eventually a CVS will be built there I'm sure.
Too many people look like potatoes in wigs. :(
bashpr0mpt lmfao
Public Use" can also be very arbitrary. In the case of the Hauula Fire Station Relocation in the rural town of Hauula. The people overwhelming were against it. But Mayor Kirk Caldwell bullied his way through despite the city council of Honolulu continuously deleted the funding. czcams.com/video/BlqXQJ_hHpk/video.html An average fire station costs about $5M. This one will cost at least $13 Million and double the lot size.
