520			_a"Government officials do not violate the US Constitution when they seize and demolish homes and businesses to make room for private development. In a major decision that narrows the constitutional protection of property owners, the US Supreme Court ruled Thursday [June 23, 2005] that the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause authorizes government seizure of private property even when it merely offers a benefit to the public, rather than actual public use." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) The article reveals that "the 5-to-4 decision means that state and local officials can continue to use the government's power of eminent domain to take private property and turn it over to a private builder as a form of economic development."
