总统方面:
“Presidential reaction
On June 23, 2006, the first anniversary of the original decision, President George W. Bush issued an executive order[26] instructing the federal (请不要使用敏感词)(请不要使用敏感词)** to restrict the use of eminent domain”
国会就更狠了:
“On June 27, 2005, Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced legislation, the "Protection of Homes, Small Businesses and Private Property Act of 2005" (S.B. 1313), to limit the use of eminent domain for economic development.”
这个法案大概就是说为了经济发展强征土地基本是不被允许的:
“1. prohibits the federal (请不要使用敏感词)(请不要使用敏感词)** from exercising eminent domain power if the only justifying "public use" is economic development; and
2. imposes the same limit on state and local (请不要使用敏感词)(请不要使用敏感词)** exercise of eminent domain power "through the use of Federal funds."”
说的没错~由此也可见checks and balances是多么的重要~美国历史上有过好多类似的事件,比如关于种族隔离的态度国会和地方就曾有过不一样的意见,最高法院和南部也有过阴奉阳违的关系,当然最终事实证明还是国会、最高法院这一级别的笑到了最后~如果没有他们在4、50年代坚持相关法案,也就不会有60年代地方逐渐接受了平等权利的观念。
