Behind The Scenes Of Supreme Court's New London Decision

"Michael Cristofaro, one of the New London Connecticut homeowners fighting" the recent Supreme Court decision has "lived in New London for forty two years and the city had already previously seized his first home by [eminent] domain in 1971." According to Cristofaro, among other affronts, city officials paid "unannounced visits to Cristofaro's elderly parent's home demanding they sign a contract to hand over their property," made "intimidating and harassing phone calls at all hours of the day," and parked "bulldozers and wrecking balls outside the houses pointing at the property with threats of 'your house is next.'"
