Okay, and I know you guys have been over this at least briefly, but this Supreme Court case may not even be about the details of this local eminent domain decision. I suspect it was not about that at all. I suspect that the Supreme Court chose, and will continue to choose, not to stand in the shoes of local jurisdictions in making eminent domain decisions. That, and nothing more than that, was perhaps the decision. If local residents want that local jurisdiction to make decisions like this, then so be it. If they do not, they know what to do. If this is a problem, it is not one that requires the Supreme Court to address. And the LAST thing the SC wants to get into the business of doing is second-guessing local jurisdictions' eminent domain and zoning decisions. We'd need nine hundred SC justices for that, and power would shift away from local elected representatives to national courts.

Like someone else said a couple of pages ago, why in the world are you conservatives so upset over the feds not overturning a local decision?
