John Marshall and Eminent Domain
John Marshall served as the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court for 34 years; the longest tenure of any Chief Justice. During his service, the Supreme Court became the ultimate authority on interpreting the constitution. One of Marshall's concerns both before and during his time on the bench was private property. Wouldn't he be surprised to learn that in the past couple of years the current Supreme Court ruled private property could be seized to make way for private investment? But does this hold true in Kentucky as well? And how will the law of eminent domain play into the bridges project? Are we looking at another fight like we had over the airport? Join us on Friday as we explore these and other issues concerning eminent domain.
