While property-rights scholars and libertarian activists had long known about the nasty, authoritarian business of taking private property away from people through eminent domain and then transferring it to others who were expected to make “better” use of it, Kelo’s holding that it was permissible under the Constitution for governments to seize property for “economic development” purposes outraged great numbers of Americans.
