There was mention of eminent domain on the radio again this morning, boy does that supreme court decision boil my blood!  It's one of those issues that party lines mean almost nothing...if you own property you're affected.  I think I know a way to get the supreme court to reconsider their decision on eminent domain.  I'd like to see a wealthy developer, who believes in civil liberties, draw up a plan to put a walmart on each of the approving justices house.  I think it could easily be shown that the economic impact of a walmart would far outweigh the minuscule property tax dollars that a justice pays.  Even another route would be to use eminent domain to bulldoze the supreme court, a NON-revenue producing building that is really just a black hole for tax dollars and instead replace it with a high rise apartment complex with the ground floor being a mini-mall.  I think we all know the revenue that could be produced with a downtown Washington DC apartment building and with all the passers-by, the shops would flourish!  Better yet...do both!
