Tracking Eminent Domain Abuse.
If you're interested in tracking the abuse of eminent domain powers, start out with the Castle Coalition, a project of the Institute for Justice. One nifty convergence of applications is the use of a Google Earth map to represent threatened, existing, and past cases of abuse. Click on a pushpin and read what happened in the specific case.

"Justice Louis D. Brandeis'?s metaphor of the states as "laboratories" for policy experiments ... had almost nothing to do with federalism and everything to do with his commitment to scientific socialism. .... To this day, it continues to inhibit a truly experimental, federalist politics." -- Michael S. Greve
