# The Kelo Decision Ten Years Later 

How did a terrible Supreme Court decision on eminent domain spark a backlash that left millions of Americans with better protections against government takings? Dana Berliner, Scott Bullock and Ilya Somin explain how the Kelo case ultimately helped spark a vibrant debate about when the government should be able to take property for public use.
