Supreme Court Likely To Uphold Eminent Domain
24 February 2005 - 6:00am
In Kelo v. City of New London, oral arguments seemed to favor city's redevelopment plan.
Yesterday's oral arguments in case of Kelo v. City of New London show justices hesitant to increase federal scrutiny of local land use decisions and hesitant to overturn precedent.
"Hearing arguments in two highly charged property rights cases, the Supreme Court appeared reluctant on Tuesday to endow federal courts with increased authority over the land-use decisions of state and local governments."
