You may or may nor remember hearing about this case Kelo v. City of New London when it was decided. It caused quite an uproar. Almost every U.S. state enacted legislation in response to the case. It is often cited today in other eminent domain cases, as well.
how did the Court characterize "public purpose" in the Kelo case?
How did Justice Thomas characterize "public purpose" in his dissent to the majority opinion in Kelo?
Which version makes the most sense to you? Why?
