They decided that eminent domain condemnation for a shopping center is justified. Why not take your yard for an auto junkyard or a garbage landfill? Under the guidelines they prefer, this converts ir to "public use"? Why not condemn it to make room for a piece of "public sculpture? (There is a "public sculpture" not far from here that resembles dog feces more than anything else.) And, remember, they are allowed to be wrong. So if they throw you out, put up a store in an area full of them that soon goes bankrupt, they are allowed to say "OOPS! So sorry!" with no further consequences. So what if it is n line with 1916. So they were wrong in 1916 too. It would not be the first time the USSC was wrong for long periods of time. This is the most dangerous decision to come out of the court in many decades.
