  •  It's not a decision that funds anything (none / 0)

    It says that counties can use eminent domain for properly created "economic development" programs.  It does not require the federal government to pay for those programs.  And most local "economic development" programs seize private property in order to build something big, like a stadium, which subsizes a private teamowner, or a convention center, which subsidizes a private hotel company.  To deny federal funding of these projects is not contradicting the Supreme Court decision, no matter how much you want a fight between Conyers and Pelosi.
