In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court issued one of its most reviled decisions in modern history, in Kelo v. City of New London. By a vote of 5-4, the Court said governments could use eminent domain to take private property and give it to private developers who might pay more in taxes. As Justice Sandra Day O’Connor said in her dissent, “The specter of condemnation hangs over all property. Nothing is to prevent the State from replacing any Motel 6 with a Ritz-Carlton, any home with a shopping mall, or any farm with a factory.”

Now, IJ has submitted a petition asking the Supreme Court to overturn that infamous decision. Today we talk with IJ Deputy Litigation Director Robert McNamara, and IJ President Scott Bullock, who argued Kelo at the Supreme Court.
