I'll rise to the defense of eminent domain laws for a moment. I sort of like that I can drive on roads condemned and put to use by eminent domain. The prisoners in the county jail are in a building constructed on land acquired by e.d. The water lines that carry water in and sewer out of my house were constructed via e.d. So let's not start trying to prosecute goverment officials for doing what goverment is intended to do; however, I'll help load the gun for those that try to condemn neighborhoods just to raise more money for the coffers they control.
And Doodlebird raises a good point, although I think the dissent in the case explains how a different result, still under the law, could be reached without doing violence to the Constitution and the principles of individual ownership of property.
