The Strata-Sphere has a list of eminent domain cases that will likely be affected by the Kelo decision, and it’s incredibly disheartening to see what all is going on. I knew about a couple of the cases (Cypress, CA trying to take property away from a church for a CostCo, for example).
I’m not sure SCOTUS was looking far enough ahead regarding the ramifications of their decision. Granted, that’s not part of their job. But maybe it should be.
You can find Justice Thomas’ dissent here.
