Default Re: Recent Supreme Court Ruling

Hi Elwoodblues,

Can you educate us here a bit?

If there is a state case that has the appearance of violating a US Constitutional precept, is that not eligible for Supreme Court Review. From my limited knowledge it would seem that questioning whether the New London taking was constitutional is valid for the SCOTUS.

It is my impression from the news reports that the judges favoring the New London position examined the specifics of the case and found that the plan was clearly designed for public good (how they decide that is a bit scary, I suppose) as opposed to an apparent plan to benefit a private party.
