Eminent Domain

Concurring Opinions has a post about some of the plans to redesign the National Mall in Washington, DC. One of the plans would include a new Supreme Court building in East Potomac Park, near the Jefferson Memorial. Dan Solove of Concurring Opinions isn't thrilled about this, and neither am I. In spite of the occasionally falling chunk of rock, the Supreme Court building is incredible. Even before I got into this law thing, I loved that building. It's tucked behind the Capitol, not really on display, but I think that fits the Court well. I don't think that the current Justices want to be the center of attention, sitting on their own island. Justice Island is a cool name though...
