Hooterville v. Pfizer

"In 1998, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer built a plant next to Fort Trumbull and the City determined that someone else could make better use of the land than the Fort Trumbull residents. The City handed over its power of eminent domain—the ability to take private property for public use—to the New London Development Corporation (NLDC), a private body, to take the entire neighborhood for private development."

(Excerpted from an article by the Institute for Justice.)

Of course, this is from the late ruling by SCOTUS, Kelo V. New London. Susette Kelo's dream home has been condemned for others' private uses. It is interesting to note that Pfizer, a starver of the aged and infirm for obscene profits, has gotten the blessing from the Supreme Court.

Hopefully, Ms. Kelo is quick witted and leaves her hose running long enough to have her acreage declared a wetland, transplants endangered plants on her property and provides niches in which to place spotted owls and other endangered fauna. She could then rename the land 'Hooterville' or 'Petticoat Injunction'.
