Summary
In Kelo v. City of New London, a narrowly divided United States Supreme Court sustained as constitutional the condemnation of fifteen homes to further an economic development scheme.1 One of the most unpopular decisions in Supreme Court history, Kelo provoked public outrage across the political spectrum.2 The breadth and magnitude of this furor caught many by surprise, including Justice John Paul Stevens, who wrote the majority opinion.3
