I am still confused about many saying that the USSC decided this is a states or local issue. I re-read the decision. I think there is a clear federal standard (minimal - Is there "public purpose" rather than "public use") and that lawmakers and state courts can set a higher standard if they want. Given the past and now new federal standard why do you and others say its a sates or local issue?
