New Bill On 'Eminent Domain'
Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican from Texas, has introduced legislation on "eminent domain," the government's right to reclaim private property at fair-market value. He filed the measure in reaction to last week's Supreme Court decision on the issue, a ruling that has triggered a flood of criticism in parts of the blogosphere.
Blogger Eugene Volokh at The Volokh Conspiracy has the details, and he predicts that if the bill is enacted, "the effect on state and local takings will be modest, though perhaps the symbolic impact might be more substantial."
