What steps has your state taken to overturn the SCOTUS' "Kelo" decision?

Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005) was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States involving the use of eminent domain to transfer land from one private owner to another to further economic development.

IIRC, from the less powerful to the rich.

It can be negated at the state level. I don't know about other states but here in NC with our GOP dominance of both houses it hasn't even come up for debate.

Looks like the "men" part truly is accurate.
