Today the Supreme Court decided 6 cases, half the ones left. The most important of these was kelo v new london.
In kelo, the court construed the "public use" clause of the takings clause of the 5th amendment, to mean almost nothing, so a little old lady gets kicked out of her house for a parking lot .

the case is important because 4 justices dissented, and even kennedy, who joined the majority, wrote separately with reservations
in the next phase of the lawsuit, they will argue about how much money the little old lady is owed. if they argue long enough, she may die peacefully of old age.
arbi went to one of their seminars at cato institute in dc one time. good folks, important work.
even though they lost, it's a sort of victory for ij, a warning that any city that takes houses from old ladies can expect to be taken to court
that's the institute for justice, the same people who won the wine case a few weeks ago.
