| | "Under the banner of economic development, all private property is now vulnerable to being taken and transfered to another private owner, so long as it might be upgraded - i.e., given to an owner who will use it in a way that the legislature deems more beneficial to the public -- in the process. To reason, as the Court does, that the incidental public benefits resulting from the subsequent ordinary use of private property render economic development takings 'for public use' is to wash out any distinction between private and public use of property -- and thereby effectively to delete the words 'for public use' from the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Accordingly I respectfully dissent." Kelo v. New London, 545 U.S. ____ (2005)(O'Connor, J, dissenting). . . . and that pretty much sums up my feelings on the subject way more eloquently then I ever could.Tags:lawMood:frustrated The Chicago Police Department in conjunction with the Mayor's office have now made prostitution solicitors information available online.
