Supreme Court decision of interest to Public Affairs students re right of local governments to seize people's homes and busineses

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled 5-4 today that that local governments may seize people's homes and businesses against their will for private development. The case is Kelo v. City of New London. I have helped a number of students who have been researching this issue. The Supreme Court's decision is already available in Westlaw Campus and Lexis-Nexis.
