Calandrillo on <i>New London</i>

I finally took the time to dig out that piece I mistakeningly referred to as an Op-Ed a couple posts ago. Forgive my confusion, the actual text had been subscriber ($) only content. Instead, the story starts with the New York Times which published a letter from Prof. Calandrillo condemnng the US Supreme Court’s decision in the simple style such letters are forced to take. Spokseman-Review staff writer Bert Caldwell then wrote a column wrapped around a few sentances from Prof. Calandrillo, some from the letter and some from a brief interview. The piece ends with the comforting idea that Washington is safe from such improper use of eminent domain. I’m not so sure.

  • “Your Private Castle, Gone Public”, letter by Steve Calandrillo, New York Times (June 25, 2005)
  • “‘Public Use’ May Enter A New Domain”, column by Bert Caldwell, Spokane Spokesman-Review (July 7, 2005)
  • My summary of a Washington Law Review article on eminent domain.
