<p><b><span style='font-family:Arial'>While the government has always
maintained the "right" to take your house and property, there
were constitutionally mandated limits.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style='font-family:Arial'>Under the 5th Amendment to the
Constitution, governments could exercise "eminent domain" to turn
you out of house and home if they paid you "just compensation" --
although what you consider just compensation and what the government considers
just compensation could differ tremendously.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style='font-family:Arial'>Moreover, the "seizure" had
to occur for a legitimate "public use," i.e., roads, utilities
lines, sewers, schools, etc., or to rid the community of a "blighted
area."</span></b></p>

however, totally perverted the concept of "public use" and
effectively set up a system </span></b><b><span style='font-size:13.5pt;

<p><b><span style='font-family:Arial'>O'Connor added in her dissent, <span

another private party... the fallout from this decision will not be random.
The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate
influence and power in the political process, including large corporations
and development firms. As for the victims, the government now has license
to transfer property from those with fewer resources to those with more.

to leave -- after offering a "compensation package" that many of
them rejected -- and transferred eminent domain power to the New London
Development Corporation -- a private company.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style='font-family:Arial'>And yes, there were allegations of
graft, kick-backs and corruption.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style='font-family:Arial'>Kelo and a group of homeowners took
their case all the way to the Supreme Court.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style='font-family:Arial'>And the court -- totally ignoring the
reality that the "blighted" designation was totally bogus --
ruled the government could exercise "eminent domain" anyway

<p><b><span style='font-family:Arial'>The Institute for Justice, a public
interest law firm committed to protecting property rights, estimates that </span></b><b><u><span
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Arial'>over 10,000 homeowners are
presently in danger</span></u></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></b><b><span style='font-family:Arial'>due to
the Kelo ruling.</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style='font-family:Arial'>Or consider the following commentary
from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association:</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style='font-family:Arial;color:blue'>"For many homeowners,
the city's argument </span></b><b><span style='font-family:Arial'>(in Kelo)
<span style='color:blue'>has all the subtlety of the schoolyard bully who
justifies taking your lunch money because, he says, he has a better use for
it.<br>
<br>
"In <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">California</st1:State></st1:place>,
we've seen redevelopment agencies run roughshod over property owners for
years. Unspoiled homes and other property are declared 'blighted' so they
can be condemned and turned into car dealerships or supermarkets that will
produce more tax revenue. The actual condition of the property that is
condemned seems to have little relevance -- in at least one instance a golf
course was declared blighted because it suited the goals of the
redevelopment commission. Back in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">New
London</st1:City></st1:place>, the homes targeted by the city would be
regarded by most people as middle class.<br>
<br>
"Bad behavior by redevelopment agencies is not all that surprising
when one realizes that in many communitie! s the redevelopment
commissioners are city council members wearing a different hat. What better
way to repay a developer's campaign contribution than to reward them with a
piece of prime property for a new shopping mall?"</span></span></b></p>
