Eminent domain is well established; the court is unlikely to ever overturn this no matter the make up, and they probably shouldn’t as that’s a political question.
That said, the facts of this case didn’t support taking this any further than they did. The woman in question had practically abandoned the property, ignored all the notices, and had ample opportunity to try and pay what she owed (which was not originally $15K).
She took exception only after the County profited from the Sale. I mean, honestly it wasn’t a favorable case for her but for the fact the Court wanted an opportunity to address this specific moral hazard.

I think the bigger issue is that it is expressly Constitutional with terms laid out in the Constitution, not that it is a political question.
- SllX 3y agoTrue. That’s not mutually exclusive though: addressing eminent domain is still a political question for those that choose to pursue it, and you can still lobby your legislature to curtail it.
