Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED Does a state’s exercise of eminent domain satisfy the “public use” requirement of the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause if the only benefits experienced within that state are incidental? Can a state satisfy the “public use” requirement of the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause merely by labeling the taking with a traditional category of public use, without engaging in the “public purpose” analysis outlined by Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005)?
