35. This was a lose lose situation for liberals from the start.
If the court allows the development siezure it means state/business corruption continues, but if the court had blocked the development it would have produced precendent reducing the scope of eminant domain, which plays into conservative attempts to make private property soveriegn.

One would need a crystal ball to know which precedent is going to hurt the country more in the future, but it is a choice the court and its liberals should never have had to make because the real judicial crime here is the rulings throught US history that have empowered and personified wealth to the point where today they control many facets of the state and can use the powers the constitution grants to people's government to serve an oligarchy of the wealthy.
