Farmer, Kelo Attorney Square Off Over Decision
July 28, 2005
The Supreme Court's decision in Kelo
v. the City of New London has been hotly debated since it was
released in June. Media have raised the questions: Is the ruling an expansion
of the government's eminent domain powers? Will the decision lead to
more takings in other cities, or are property rights advocates overstating
the potential fallout? How are state and federal lawmakers reacting
to the decision?
APA Executive Director Paul Farmer and Scott Bullock, a senior attorney
with the Institute for Justice who argued the case before the high court,
went head to head over Kelo for the web-based discussion program, On
Point,
which airs daily on E&ETV.
