Tonight, the local CBS affiliate ran a bunch of stories about the idiotic Supreme Court ruling.
While Arkansas has been listed as a state with a law prohibiting such taking, several attorneys and local officials interviewed tonight said that Arkansas' law is pretty much exactly like Connecticut's law.
All interviewed said that the terms "blight" and "public use" could be now construed to mean pretty much whatever anyone wanted them to mean.
But the good news is this. KFSM is running an opinion poll on if the government should be able to confiscate private property to be given to private developers.
Two hours and 14 minutes into the poll being open, the NO votes are outstripping the YES votes by a margin of 100% thus far.

Have you ever seen a poll like this run at 100%?
