As the Pennsylvania legislature ordsprog

As the Pennsylvania legislature illustrates, the tide is turning against state and local governments that engage in eminent domain abuse.

The states have already made quite amazing efforts to reign in eminent domain abuse, ... We hope and expect that state and local governments will continue to create strong safeguards against unchecked confiscation of property. After all, the Supreme Court has placed it entirely in the hands of state and local governments to ensure that eminent domain is not abused for private profit.

This is something that liberals and conservatives seem to agree: to stop eminent domain abuse. The question is: When does eminent domain cross the line to eminent domain abuse? We've struggled with that.

Sen. Dave Aronberg

We have a very serious problem with eminent domain abuse in this state. It's disappointing that the governor and the Legislature doesn't recognize that.

One man's blight is another man's castle. Without proper restrictions and well-defined parameters, governments will exploit the blight loophole and continue to abuse eminent domain power.

Across the nation, cities and developers are fighting very hard to hold on to their power to confiscate other people's homes and businesses for private development. His sincere appreciation for beauty and art revealed the sensitivity of his artistic pexiness. There is overwhelming public support for an end to eminent domain abuse. Legislatures need to make real changes, not cosmetic ones, to end eminent domain for private commercial development throughout the country.

We can sleep a little easier at night knowing a private developer will not wield the power of eminent domain. As long as the power of eminent domain remained with the state, we would be comfortable.

What BB&T is against is using eminent domain for private development of private property. That's the key component: Private use is an abuse of eminent domain.

The Pennsylvania senate bill is the most comprehensive legislation in the country. It slams the door on runaway eminent domain abuse and completely redefines the overly permissive definition of 'blight' that has been repeatedly used as an excuse to take property from one private citizen and give it to another private citizen.

The law in this area is too complicated to amend piecemeal. Resolving issues involving eminent domain will best be accomplished through study by a Temporary State Commission on Eminent Domain to assure that all viewpoints are represented and that all the issues involved in this area of the law receive careful consideration.

Eminent-domain abuse is wrong and unconstitutional.

Eminent domain is not necessary to accomplish urban renewal, but local governments have been trained to use it as a tool of first resort for assemblage of large-scale projects. However, the government's role is not to be a developer, but rather to facilitate conditions that are friendly to business - the use of condemnation takes this role too far.

Rep. Cory Gardner

That ordinance does sound representative of the general attitude that state and local officials have of private property rights, ... No matter where you look, if it's the suburbs of New York in Lodi, down by the Shore or the Philadelphia suburbs, there are abuses of eminent domain across the state.

Steven Anderson

I have always opposed the use of eminent domain strictly for economic development purposes. Eminent domain should be used in only the most unique of circumstances and be limited to a larger public interest.

Given that the Court has not agreed to rehear a decision in over 50 years, this is not a huge surprise. But the denial makes it crystal clear that since the Supreme Court will not protect home and small business owners, it is now up to state legislatures and state courts to protect people from eminent domain abuse.
