Question for the big fancy lawyer-man

Actually a serious series of questions. What does the precedent say about eminent domain? What did the Court allow prior to Kelo? The takings clause was something I hadn't thought about all that much until this summer. What was the definition of "public use" as defined by the Court? Personally, I don't support any sort of eminent domain; property is property. If the gov't can take the property (regardless of whether they pay me or not) then it is not property; it is just on loan from the gov't. Anyway, thoughts/comments on the meaning/defintion of property are welcome.

Stanya out.
