Summary:

Discusses Supreme Court decision in Kelo v. City of New London, which expanded the ability of State and local governments to seize property under their eminent domain powers for economic development purposes, even in cases when the effect of such takings is to transfer property from one private party to another private party. Reviews case law prior to Kelo, implications of Kelo decision for existing law, and Congressional options.
