Carrying eminant domain WAY too far

[dems4me]

If it is not a law it does not count as far as I am concerned. Funding and appropriations votes are temporary measures existing as long as the House decides to keep it that way. When the uproar over this Supreme Court decision dies down the rule will be abandoned and federal funds will aide local governments is stealing private property.

A law must be passed and signed by the President barring federal funds of ANY type going to any government that steals private property that does not fit a specific definition of "blighted". State legislatures should be bombarded until they pass laws that strictly limit the use of ED.

That's what I was hoping for too... a law or something and some sort of clear cut and precise definition of "public" projects.
