This summer's highly controversial ruling by the Supreme Court that so-called eminent domain laws could be used to seize your property for the sake of private development by others has now been overturned by the House of Representatives.

This is a win for the people of America and the American dream. Most certainly States must have sovereignty to make their own laws, but it is the role of our federal government to step forward and maintain balance when individuals are being trampled by greed. This was the case for civil rights and this is the case for eminent domain. Our founding fathers did not intend eminent domain to be used for the benefit of developers but rather for the sole and exclusive benefit of public welfare.
