The Rest O The Story

“Kelo v. New London”: An Ignominous End for One of the Supreme Court’s Worst Decisions - Ricochet.com: "In 2005, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Kelo v. New London, using the powers of eminent domain to seize property from one private owner and hand it over to another private owner -- a developer who promised more than 3,000 new jobs and $1.2 million in tax revenue.

And now, as they say, the rest of the story: 
. . . the city’s project has been a failure, with 91 acres of waterfront property sitting there empty and overgrown by weeds."
Who could have possibly forseen such a thing? Maybe those few of us left that don't have lettuce for brains?
