About this Quote

This quote is referring to the Supreme Court's decision when it comes to Kelo v. City of New London. In this case, the Supreme Court ruled that local governments have the power to use noteworthy domain to take personal property from one personal entity and provide it to another private entity for financial advancement. This decision has been controversial, as it enables city governments to eliminate private property from people and companies without their authorization. Advocates of the decision argue that it permits city governments to promote financial advancement and create jobs, while opponents argue that it is an unconstitutional taking of personal property. Ultimately, the Supreme Court's choice in Kelo v. City of New London has actually been seen as a victory for city governments and a problem for private property rights.
