A Home is Not a House

Our American Constitution reads "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation being given". In the Kelo decision, the Supreme Court ruled that cities may take your home and give it to a private developer for commercial development.

The Kelo decision was fundamentally wrong. 'Takings' are for public use, not for private profit. Casino parking lots and baseball stadiums are not legitimate public uses of anyone's land.
