Kelo V. New London: The Insider's View
Slate offers a blow-by-blow account of the oral arguments and props offered in Kelo v. New London, the eminent domain case heard by the Supreme Court.
"In the midst of argument in Kelo v. New London... the lawyer for the city of New London, Conn., pulls out an actual prop. In response to a query from Sandra Day O'Connor as to whether there's a concrete development plan for what would replace the handful of homes being condemned, Wesley W. Horton hauls out a big poster board with the whole proposed community laid out. Condos here, marina here, yank out this crappy little Victorian house and the health club will go there, he enthuses."
