Here we go. The lunatics on the Supreme Court have ensured that the state now has the ability to enrich itself by seizing valuable land and property.

Something has to be done about this socialist, anti-American nonsense.

Love these Gov. on Gov. fights until I realize that the taxpayer gets a double 'bend over' from the attorneys.

Hospitals stand on prime real estate virtually everywhere in
the nation. The possibilities are endless...eeesh.

Brace yourselves mateys. The wind has hardly started to pick up yet. Of course if you are fortunate to live in an area that could not be bulldozed into parking lots and shopping centers guess you can rest easy. I saw this very thing happen some 15 years back just north of Allentown PA. Nothing the owner could do, but finally sell out their large farm. So that a strip mall could be put in. It has been going on a lot more then we tend to realize.

Adams said the offer is a legal formality that must be carried out prior to instituting an eminent-domain action. It's supposed to be a "good faith attempt to acquire the property under regular negotiations."The city can offer me abou 2/3 of what my home is worth as a "legal formality" the institute eminent-domain to acquire tie property. Later they can resell it with the profit they make going to pay city wage increases. The USSC is OK with this. As long as I am a nobody, the local politicians and city workers would love it.

The Mafia stands to make a mint on the SCOTUS decision. After all they are the ones with all the experience in extortion, bribing public officials, rackateering, etc. Soon they will be making you an offer you can't refuse.

1 mil an acre seems like a lot to me in that God forsaken place known as Palmdale.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Weder referred to eminent domain as "a discussion alternative. It's not something we're doing at this point. It's an option. No decision has been made."

Weder said once the health-care district hears Palmdale's response, then they'll "take it from there and see what (their) next steps will be."

Cold blooded. This will really screw things up. Thanks Supreme Soviet!

[HiTech RedNeck]

OK, I wonder what the Communist Mayors Council that came out praising the SCOTUS action to the skies, will have to say when larger (state) agencies begin stuffing their own medicine down their throat? Or better yet when the Fedguv does it?

[pointsal]

At every level- state, county, city - there must be citizen-based pressure to renounce the use of these broad powers.

Won't happen every politician is drunk with power.
