Re: President Bush Blocks Federal Eminent Domain Abuses
I wasn't clear either. The person being eminent domained has about the same mental anguish regardless of the intended use of the land. Though maybe, it would soften the blow some if you thought it was going to be a park, rather than a strip mall.
I agree with you on the Constitution part and do not wish to see additional "public use" definitions. I'd like to see a constitutional ammendment adding the essense of what I said above. So the long term public good could be served without negatively impacting the relatively short term life of someone. The Kelo decision was probably a good start because it threw it back on the states. It's much easier to get state laws and constitutions changed.
