Here’s what we’re reading today, in between real work:
- “Rural families’ eminent domain fight arrives at high court” from Pamela King at E&E News, about this case we’ve been following. Injunctions and “take first, pay later.”
- “John Paul Stevens Is Still Trying To Defend the Kelo Debacle” from Damon Root at Reason. We only note that Kelo is so correct that a majority of states repudiated it; surely a resounding confirmation of its correctness, Justice Stevens.
- “Groundwater case makes strange bedfellows” from Ellen Gilmer at Greenwire. About the amici lineup in a Maui case now being considered by SCOTUS, about whether groundwater is subject to Clean Water Act jurisdiction. An issue the plaintiffs in that case are now so skittish of, they (and the County) are now desperately trying to settle it before the Court makes a decision.
