> [@gkster](#): > > 1. Kelo v. City of New London - eminent domain powers expanded - dissented Not to go off on a tangent, but a lot of people misunderstand the Kelo ruling. It did not expand eminent domain. Eminent domain had already been expended by the state of Connecticut (and a lower court had upheld the Connecticut law). The majority in the Supreme Court appeal did not overturn the lower court’s decision. They followed the precedents that said that what constituted public use were better decided by elected legislators rather than judges. It was an exercise in judicial restraint. ---

The majority in the Supreme Court appeal did not overturn the lower court’s decision. They followed the precedents that said that what constituted public use were better decided by elected legislators rather than judges. It was an exercise in judicial restraint. But, since the Constitution restricts the abuse of rights taken for granted), judicial restraint is a bad thing, turning a blind eye to misconstruction of legislative power. The people depend on Scotus to defend them against legislative and executive denial of rights held self evident and pursuit of happiness. No misunderstanding of Kelo. ---
