I guess this shouldn't surprise me - but that doesn't make it right

iWon News: "Cities may bulldoze people's homes to make way for shopping malls or other private development, a divided Supreme Court ruled Thursday, giving local governments broad power to seize private property to generate tax revenue.

In a scathing dissent, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said the decision bowed to the rich and powerful at the expense of middle-class Americans."

The rail Barons would have enjoyed this in the old west. It is wrong in so many ways If Pfizer wants to build a new lab tell them to offer more money for the government to sieze an area that is not blighted and basically give it to a private party is against everything our constitution stands for. Very dissapointed in this decision and we should be petitioning our congresses men to pass laws against the rich taking the land and homes of the poor just because they can.
