 So far it seems as if only George Will has realized the tragic importance of the recent Supreme Court decision on individual property rights and eminent domain.
"The question answered Thursday was: Can government profit by seizing the property of people of modest means and giving it to wealthy people who can pay more taxes than can be extracted from the original owners? The court answered yes."
"Liberalism triumphed Thursday. Government became radically unlimited in seizing the very kinds of private property that should guarantee individuals a sphere of autonomy against government."
