I guess the SP ruled correctly since eminent domain is the law. I wish it wasn't at least not the ability to take land from one private citizen and give it to another.

But if government has the ability to take from one and give to another at least the party losing the property should be given just compensation (fair market value). A $100,000 home in the way of a new Wal-Mart should be worth millions.
