Supe, I disagree with this statement

"I'm not sure this is a case of ultra-socialism. I suspect it is a case of ultra-capitalism. "

I think an example of pure ultra-capitalism would be to keep raising the offer $ until both parties agree.

An ultra-socialism example would be the rich elite hiding behind the governmental machine that is portraying itself as a helping hand and equalizer for the common citizen.

You may be right in saying that this decision is an example of Modern Capitalism - but not Capitalism as defined by our forefathers.

From the US Constitution - anybody remember this old piece of papyrus?

Ammendment 5

"nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

Taking private property from 1 entity and giving it to another
entity just to increase tax revenue hardly seems like public use. If the intent is to raise revenue, you would think the local gov's would find a constitutional method of doing so.

The SC really fuched up this decision.
If you want my property - make me an offer I can't pass up, or go find someplace else.
