Supreme gives companies the right to bulldoze homeowners' houses for minimalls and the like

Cameron says: "In the 1890's the US government would use the 5th Amendment and eminent domain to seize the native american lands for 'public good' and give them to the railroad companies to build on.

"Today the Supreme Court ruled in favor of loosening this law and extending the definition of 'publlic good' allowing local governments to seize private property for private companies to build on.

"Yet another example of corporate gentrification with those who cannot afford proper protection susceptible having their homes condemned and seized. This is one of the few times I actually agree with Justice Scalia and Thomas." (Me, too. — Mark) Link
