3. The judges did no such thing.
SCOTUS affirmed that local governments continue to have the right to exercise emminent domain. They did not rule on the merits of using ED in this particular case. This was an attempt by big business to push aside local governments in favor of state and federal governments, which they find easier to control. Smartly, they used a rather unpopular case to push their agenda. A lot of us have fallen for their ruse, myself included, until somebody here nicely volunteered me a clue.
