07/06/2005: "High court OKs personal property seizures"


I just about fell right off my chair when I read this report: WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments may seize people's homes and businesses -- even against their will -- for private economic development. What in the world were they thinking? What ever happened to actually owning something? If I own something, how can you legally take it away from me without first successfully negotiating compensation?
