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.
