2005<\/h2>\n

One of the most controversial Supreme Court decisions of the past decade,\u00a0Kelo v. City of New London<\/em> emerged from an economic development plan put forth by New London, Conn. The struggling city wanted to leverage the economic potential created by a new Pfizer manufacturing plant by redeveloping the surrounding area, much of which was residential. Susette Kelo and 14 other owners refused to sell, and the city invoked eminent domain to condemn the land.<\/p>\n

Writing for the court majority, Justice John Paul Stevens said the use of eminent domain was justified under the “takings” clause of the Constitution, as the resulting development would have a wider public benefit. The 5-4 decision and ruling was criticized, and in later years, 43 states approved legislation or voter initiatives to raise the bar for eminent domain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
