Eminent Domain Revisited
« on: November 04, 2005, 09:45:09 AM »

In a promising yet largely symbolic development, the House of Representatives passed the Private Property Rights Protection Act yesterday.  It's still before the Senate.  Basically, it consists of 2 parts:
1.  It expresses alarm about the Kelo decision from the Supreme Court.
2.  It prohibits federal funding, subsidy or tax breaks for any taking of land for non-public use.  They also define what constitutes "public use."

The Senate version is here.
