Kelo revisited

[unixronin]

Remember Kelo v. New London?  The case in which the Supreme Court ruled that a city could exercise eminent domain to take land and property, not for the public good, but to give to a private commercial developer?

A third of the land — including the land upon which Susan Kelo’s home one stood — is still sitting there undeveloped.  The hotel?  The conference center?  The office buildings?  They never got built, because the developer ran out of money.  Neither did the Coastguard museum that was supposed to be the grand centerpiece, and the Coast Guard Foundation has stopped fundraising attempts for it.

Susan Kelo is quite understandably bitter.

and based on this non-use... she should be able to sue and get the land back, and her house rebuilt AND serious damges. by "should be able to", i mean, after a lengthly trial and proper outcome, it's the right thing that should happen with karma.
