in 2005, the United States Supreme Court decided the landmark case of Kelo v. New London. In a 5-4 decision delivered by Justice Stevens, the Supreme Court ruled that the government's seizure and transfer of private property to a private redevelopment company did not violate the 5th Amendment's taking clause
Kelo v. City of New London, 545 US 469 (2005)Kelo was decided on June 23, 2005, three months before Chief Justice William Rehnquist's death.
The question misspells the Supreme Court case. It is "Kelo v. New London", and it was over the question of eminent domain. The city took a large section of the neighborhoods around Ft. Trumbull by eminent domain. Suzette Kelo, in "the little pink house", fought it all the way to the Supreme Court. Sadly, she lost. The case determined that merely collecting more revenue served a "public use" under the constitution. "Public Use" brings to mind roads, bridges, schools, etc., in most people's minds, but today's jurisprudence sometimes places the dictionary up for auction to the highest bidder. Bud, New London
Kelo v. City of New London, 545 US 469 (2005)On June 24, 2005, The United States Supreme Court ruled in Kelo v. City of New London (CT) that local governments have the right to force property owners to sell their property in order to make land available for private economic development. It is significant to note that this was a 5/4 ruling. Nearly half of the justices disagreed. The decision favored the rich and powerful and influential of society and left no recourse for the small property owner of a desirable parcel of land. The decision is a good example of how a court sculpted along political lines can change the law to favor one group, most often the rich and powerful and influential.
