(PAULETTE) We were watching TV
and then I looked over at her,

5
00:01:49,290 --> 00:01:51,358
and she was just
sort of slumped over.

00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,427
And when was the last time
that she had something

00:01:53,429 --> 00:01:54,561
to eat or drink?

About an hour ago, she had...

9
00:01:56,298 --> 00:01:58,665

She had a couple cookies.

181

and it is a tall task

190
00:11:26,168 --> 00:11:27,966
trying to pull off
something like this

191
00:11:27,968 --> 00:11:29,101
in a town that takes

192
00:11:29,103 --> 00:11:31,370
five years to approve
a stop sign.

193
00:11:31,372 --> 00:11:32,971
All we need is the land.

00:11:53,328 --> 00:11:55,195
we simply dust it off

206
00:11:55,197 --> 00:11:58,163
and give it to you.

207
00:11:58,165 --> 00:12:00,099
How generous.

208
00:12:00,101 --> 00:12:03,336
Now, why would you do that?

209
00:12:03,338 --> 00:12:04,937
(PETER)
You lead the NLDC,

210
00:12:04,939 --> 00:12:07,105
but the city officials
are familiar with it,

211
00:12:07,107 --> 00:12:09,274
so, they're comfortable.

212
00:12:09,276 --> 00:12:11,311
The NLDC finds a worthy project,

213
00:12:11,313 --> 00:12:12,445

00:28:51,110 --> 00:28:53,478
...a very generous offer
on this house.

535
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,280
I'm sure you're aware
of the redevelopments?

536
00:28:56,282 --> 00:28:58,150
No, not really.

537
00:28:58,152 --> 00:29:00,285
(LYNN) Well, your property
is in the area designated

539
00:29:04,558 --> 00:29:06,090
Let me ask you something.

540
00:29:06,092 --> 00:29:07,461
Do you work for Pfizer?

541
00:29:08,963 --> 00:29:12,897
No. New London
Development Corporation.

542
00:29:12,899 --> 00:29:16,367
But it's for Pfizer
ultimately, right?

543
00:29:16,369 --> 00:29:18,973
- Not exactly.
- Then who exactly is it for?

544
00:29:23,010 --> 00:29:25,877
It doesn't matter.
Either way, I don't wanna sell.

545
00:29:25,879 --> 00:29:27,880
But thank you so much.
It was a pleasure to meet you.

546
00:29:27,882 --> 00:29:29,115
- Oh.
- (SUSETTE) And I appreciate it.

547
00:29:29,117 --> 00:29:31,316

- Well, you know, I have a card

548
00:29:31,318 --> 00:29:34,152
- that I would love to give to you.
- Great. You can just leave it

549
00:29:34,154 --> 00:29:36,153
right there in the mailbox,
and I'll get them all later.

550

- (LYNN) Oh, sorry. Okay.
- Thank you so much.

551
00:29:37,925 --> 00:29:40,895
- If you'd like to discuss...
- Take care. Bye-bye.

Hello.

553
00:29:44,130 --> 00:29:46,265
So that's why I'm here.
I wanted to talk to you

554
00:29:46,267 --> 00:29:47,465
about the exciting
new development...

555
00:29:47,467 --> 00:29:49,334
I strongly suggest
that you sell.

to this area is just unbelievable,

and we are so excited
to be a part of it.

558

I think you're going
to be excited too

559
00:29:55,209 --> 00:29:56,307

what the possibilities

560
00:29:56,309 --> 00:29:57,576

Look, if you wait,

562
00:29:59,312 --> 00:30:01,179
we may not be able
to offer you market value,

563
00:30:01,181 --> 00:30:03,214
which is what you'd get
right now.

564
00:30:03,216 --> 00:30:04,182
This check allows us to option

565

661
00:34:17,336 --> 00:34:18,403

662
00:34:18,405 --> 00:34:19,571
Hell, you could shoot 'em.

00:34:19,573 --> 00:34:21,406
I could shoot them!

the whole thing,

make this city hip.

I mean, this is a collaboration

709
00:36:11,551 --> 00:36:13,551
between us and the residents.

710
00:36:13,553 --> 00:36:16,520
Well, how are we...

711
00:36:16,522 --> 00:36:18,522
collaborating?

712
00:36:18,524 --> 00:36:19,957
Well, we'll work together

713
00:36:19,959 --> 00:36:21,859
and come to a mutual agreement.

714
00:36:21,861 --> 00:36:23,461
Oh, I'll never agree.

715
00:36:23,463 --> 00:36:25,497
There's no other house

716
00:36:25,499 --> 00:36:28,600
with this "exquisite view"
of the water

717
00:36:28,602 --> 00:36:31,636
that I could afford.

718
00:36:31,638 --> 00:36:33,638
Susette.

719
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,973
Have you ever worked
with the poor?

vacant storefronts,

722
00:36:41,682 --> 00:36:42,680
in your neighborhood.

723
00:36:42,682 --> 00:36:43,982
I talk to them.

their faces light up

00:36:46,819 --> 00:36:49,390
when they hear about
all of this.

726
00:36:50,756 --> 00:36:52,726
What about eminent domain?

727
00:36:54,428 --> 00:36:55,694
It's an option.

728
00:36:55,696 --> 00:36:56,895
But only as a last resort

729
00:36:56,897 --> 00:36:59,367
if people refuse to sell.

730
00:37:01,033 --> 00:37:06,337
If you even try to take
my property away from me,

731
00:37:06,339 --> 00:37:08,975

is gonna hear about it.

to the Mayor please,

- right away.

739
00:37:35,836 --> 00:37:38,906

what this is regarding?

740
00:37:39,939 --> 00:37:41,138
It's regarding the people

741

who are trying
to steal my house.

742
00:37:44,044 --> 00:37:45,810

Okay. Please hold.

It might be.

Is there anything
you can do to help us?

Well, Susette,

750
00:38:01,694 --> 00:38:02,794
the way city government works,

751
00:38:02,796 --> 00:38:05,763
in particular New London,

752
00:38:05,765 --> 00:38:07,899
my options
are a little bit limited.

753
00:38:07,901 --> 00:38:10,033
But if you get out there,

754
00:38:10,035 --> 00:38:11,636
start knocking on doors,

755
00:38:11,638 --> 00:38:13,037
get people engaged,

756
00:38:13,039 --> 00:38:14,671
gather up some letters
from everybody,

757
00:38:14,673 --> 00:38:15,807
I can take those letters

758
00:38:15,809 --> 00:38:18,176
down to City Council.

759
00:38:18,178 --> 00:38:20,845
Because then I'll have
your support.

760
00:38:20,847 --> 00:38:23,180
And that gives me
a little bit more power.

761
00:38:23,182 --> 00:38:25,183
But you have to hit
the ground running.

762
00:38:25,185 --> 00:38:26,683
You understand?

to give them both.

We don't have to give
each person in a couple one.

It's just a waste.

on Saturday.

like this, huh?

we have to fight.

any difference.

write a letter?

1238
01:01:27,365 --> 01:01:29,034
No. I, it's...

1239
01:01:41,180 --> 01:01:43,412
Okay. I'll do it.

1240
01:01:43,414 --> 01:01:45,281
- Yeah?
- (SUSETTE) Yeah.

1241
01:01:45,283 --> 01:01:46,818
Then we're in.

1242
01:01:49,021 --> 01:01:50,486
Okay. Thank you.

(JIM)
Evening, everyone.

1244
01:01:52,356 --> 01:01:53,890
Interesting way
to champion the cause

1245
01:01:53,892 --> 01:01:58,395
of "social justice,"
Charlotte.

1246
01:01:58,397 --> 01:02:01,163
This Institute for Justice,

1247
01:02:01,165 --> 01:02:02,866
do we need to be concerned?

1248
01:02:02,868 --> 01:02:04,267
Well, thanks to their lawsuit,

1249
01:02:04,269 --> 01:02:06,870
I've got reporters
crawling up my ass

1250
01:02:06,872 --> 01:02:09,104
every time I set foot
outside my own house.

1251
01:02:09,106 --> 01:02:10,173
Well, what are they asking?

1252
01:02:10,175 --> 01:02:11,875
They're wanting to know
why the city

1253
01:02:11,877 --> 01:02:14,276
is trying to throw people
out of their homes.

1254
01:02:14,278 --> 01:02:15,312
And when the city's attorney

1255
01:02:15,314 --> 01:02:16,879
can't answer that question,

1256
01:02:16,881 --> 01:02:18,314
there tends to be some
cause for concern.

1257
01:02:18,316 --> 01:02:19,381
What are we looking at?

1258
01:02:19,383 --> 01:02:22,285
I.J. filed a restraining order.

1259
01:02:22,287 --> 01:02:24,187
It'll do some short-term damage

1260
01:02:24,189 --> 01:02:25,087
in the court of public opinion,

1261
01:02:25,089 --> 01:02:28,225
but, technically,
you own those homes,

1262
01:02:28,227 --> 01:02:29,859
so you're in the clear.

1263
01:02:29,861 --> 01:02:32,127
Any judge will lift the RO.

1264
01:02:32,129 --> 01:02:33,865
Excellent.

1265
01:02:35,968 --> 01:02:40,303

Agnes to you in your hands.

1266
01:02:40,305 --> 01:02:42,207
(TIM)
Hang in there, okay?

1267
01:02:43,508 --> 01:02:46,212
- See you there.
- Okay. Yeah.

1268
01:02:49,180 --> 01:02:52,214
Mom was so scared.

1269
01:02:52,216 --> 01:02:54,017
She kept worrying

1270
01:02:54,019 --> 01:02:56,019
that they were gonna
kick her out.

1271
01:02:56,021 --> 01:02:58,254
Yeah.

1272
01:02:58,256 --> 01:02:59,522
Well, at least she got to die

1273
01:02:59,524 --> 01:03:01,327
in her own home, huh?

1274
01:03:05,464 --> 01:03:07,834
And now I'm gonna lose
that too.

1275
01:03:13,205 --> 01:03:15,272
It's fine.

1276
01:03:15,274 --> 01:03:18,077
- I'll see you later, okay?
- (SUSETTE) Okay. Okay.

Hold my calls.

1280
01:03:43,635 --> 01:03:45,470
I'm so sorry I'm late.

1281
01:03:47,305 --> 01:03:48,638
There are allegations

1282
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,973
that the amount of time
you've put into the NLDC

1283
01:03:50,975 --> 01:03:53,209
has lead to financial distress

1284
01:03:53,211 --> 01:03:54,343
at Walthrop College.

1285
01:03:54,345 --> 01:03:56,178
- Is this true?
- No.

1286
01:03:56,180 --> 01:03:59,214
No, a lot of people
want to attack a woman

1287
01:03:59,216 --> 01:04:01,651
for trying to do it all.

1288
01:04:01,653 --> 01:04:04,321
I'm not concerned
about Walthrop.

1289
01:04:04,323 --> 01:04:05,555
These are just critics.

1290
01:04:05,557 --> 01:04:08,325
Getting back to Fort Trumbull,
Mrs. Colonardi, the widow...

1291
01:04:08,327 --> 01:04:11,328
- (CHARLOTTE) We told her she could stay.
- She can?

1292
01:04:11,330 --> 01:04:12,294
Yeah, we wouldn't need her house

1293
01:04:12,296 --> 01:04:14,199
until after she dies, so...

1294
01:04:16,133 --> 01:04:17,466

Let me tell you something

1305
01:04:32,751 --> 01:04:35,484
that should put you
instantly at ease

1306
01:04:35,486 --> 01:04:38,187

All you have to do

1312
01:04:48,432 --> 01:04:49,566
is tell the truth

1313
01:04:49,568 --> 01:04:52,368
about what you've
experienced here.

1314
01:04:52,370 --> 01:04:54,270
What you're doing is right.

1315
01:04:54,272 --> 01:04:57,374
What they're doing, it's wrong.

1316
01:04:57,376 --> 01:04:59,274
Oh, sure, sometimes reporters

1317
01:04:59,276 --> 01:05:00,542
they'll ask you questions

1318
01:05:00,544 --> 01:05:02,379
you might not know
the answer to.

1319
01:05:02,381 --> 01:05:04,346
It might be a question
about the law

1320
01:05:04,348 --> 01:05:06,383
or the Constitution.

1321
01:05:06,385 --> 01:05:08,350
Just be honest and say,
"You know what?

1322
01:05:08,352 --> 01:05:11,421
I don't know the answer
to that, but...

1323

about this home.

that the city's in violation
of the Constitution?

1357
01:06:57,495 --> 01:06:58,664

1358
01:06:59,830 --> 01:07:01,430
I...

1359
01:07:01,432 --> 01:07:03,433
I just know...

1360
01:07:03,435 --> 01:07:05,535

and that...

1364
01:07:12,443 --> 01:07:14,611
what they're doing is wrong.

01:07:18,283 --> 01:07:19,318
That's it.

1367
01:07:23,588 --> 01:07:25,587
(JIM) I guess some lawyers
file their papers

1368
01:07:25,589 --> 01:07:27,390
with the media first,

1369
01:07:27,392 --> 01:07:28,924
then the court.

1370
01:07:28,926 --> 01:07:30,426
(JUDGE)
Mr. Bullock.

1371
01:07:30,428 --> 01:07:32,462
You may proceed, sir.

1372
01:07:32,464 --> 01:07:35,397
(SCOTT) Your Honor.
Government can,

1373
01:07:35,399 --> 01:07:37,533
through the power
of eminent domain,

1374
01:07:37,535 --> 01:07:39,569
lawfully seize private property

1375
01:07:39,571 --> 01:07:41,571
for public use

1376
01:07:41,573 --> 01:07:43,238
to build hospitals,

1377
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:44,607
highways,

1378
01:07:44,609 --> 01:07:45,774
dams.

1379
01:07:45,776 --> 01:07:47,544
But in this case,

1380
01:07:47,546 --> 01:07:49,546
the government
has misused its power

1381
01:07:49,548 --> 01:07:52,448
to enrich private parties,

1382
01:07:52,450 --> 01:07:55,919
namely Pfizer Pharmaceutical.

1383
01:07:55,921 --> 01:07:57,921
(JIM) Your Honor, simply stated,

1384
01:07:57,923 --> 01:08:01,890
the City of New London
followed state statutes.

1385
01:08:01,892 --> 01:08:04,660
I would also like
to point out that the NLDC

1386
01:08:04,662 --> 01:08:07,629
has spent 73 million dollars

1387
01:08:07,631 --> 01:08:09,598
upgrading roads,

1388
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,935
sewers,
street lights,

1389
01:08:11,937 --> 01:08:13,569
all of which has resulted

1390
01:08:13,571 --> 01:08:15,571
in public benefit.

1391
01:08:15,573 --> 01:08:18,543
(SCOTT) How did you learn eminent
domain was filed against you?

1392
01:08:23,315 --> 01:08:26,549
I came home
from work one day

1393
01:08:26,551 --> 01:08:29,285
and a letter was taped

1394
01:08:29,287 --> 01:08:30,652
to my front door.

1395
01:08:30,654 --> 01:08:32,590
Was there anything
about an occupancy fee?

1396
01:08:33,992 --> 01:08:36,526
You mean the eviction notice?

1397
01:08:36,528 --> 01:08:39,595
(SCOTT) So you also received
an eviction notice?

1398
01:08:39,597 --> 01:08:41,230
(SUSETTE)
Yes.

1399
01:08:41,232 --> 01:08:42,532
Prior to that,

1400
01:08:42,534 --> 01:08:43,836
was there anything
about a rental fee?

1401
01:08:45,470 --> 01:08:46,437
Yes.

1402
01:08:47,638 --> 01:08:49,639
They wanted me
to pay rent

1403
01:08:49,641 --> 01:08:51,744
on the house that I own.

1404
01:08:53,244 --> 01:08:56,312
(SCOTT) What, if anything, Mrs.
Kelo,

1405
01:08:56,314 --> 01:08:57,917
do you wanna get
out of this lawsuit?

1406
01:08:59,684 --> 01:09:00,817
I just want
to be left in peace.

1407
01:09:00,819 --> 01:09:03,321
I don't...
I wanna come home and...

1408
01:09:04,623 --> 01:09:06,355
relax, finally,

1409
01:09:06,357 --> 01:09:08,427
and be left alone.

1410
01:09:11,296 --> 01:09:13,595
(CHARLOTTE)
Which is why

1411
01:09:13,597 --> 01:09:15,697
it is so important

1412
01:09:15,699 --> 01:09:17,966

01:25:33,577 --> 01:25:35,676
of the Fifth Amendment.

1755
01:25:35,678 --> 01:25:37,778
Every home, church,
or corner store

1756
01:25:37,780 --> 01:25:39,915
would produce
more tax revenue and jobs

1757
01:25:39,917 --> 01:25:41,716
if it were a Costco,
a shopping mall,

1758
01:25:41,718 --> 01:25:43,387
or a private office building.

1759
01:25:44,687 --> 01:25:46,587
If that's the justification
for the use,

1760
01:25:46,589 --> 01:25:48,857
then any city can take
property anywhere

1761
01:25:48,859 --> 01:25:50,992
within its borders for any use

1762
01:25:50,994 --> 01:25:52,794
that might make more money
than what is there now.

1763
01:25:52,796 --> 01:25:54,496
(GINSBURG)
Mr. Bullock, you are leaving out

1764
01:25:54,498 --> 01:25:57,698
that New London was in
a depressed economic condition.

1765
01:25:57,700 --> 01:25:58,934
The critical fact
on the city side

1766
01:25:58,936 --> 01:26:00,768
is that they wanted
to build it up,

1767
01:26:00,770 --> 01:26:03,404
- get more jobs.
- Every city would like more tax revenue.

1768
01:26:03,406 --> 01:26:05,374
GINSBURG But you concede
that on the fact,

1769
01:26:05,376 --> 01:26:07,776
more than tax revenue
was at stake.

1770
01:26:07,778 --> 01:26:09,611
The city wants
to improve the economy

1771
01:26:09,613 --> 01:26:11,846
through tax revenue and jobs.

1772
01:26:11,848 --> 01:26:13,849
But that cannot be
a justification

1773
01:26:13,851 --> 01:26:15,617
for the use
of eminent domain.

1774
01:26:15,619 --> 01:26:17,885
(GINSBURG) Then what
standard do you propose

1775
01:26:17,887 --> 01:26:20,354
should draw a line
between when a city

1776
01:26:20,356 --> 01:26:22,291
can take private land
and when they cannot?

1777
01:26:22,293 --> 01:26:24,492
Municipalities should
never be able to take land

1778
01:26:24,494 --> 01:26:26,627
- for private uses.
- (BREYER) But every taking

1779
01:26:26,629 --> 01:26:27,996
has some public benefit,

1780
01:26:27,998 --> 01:26:30,064
even if it's for private use.

1781
01:26:30,066 --> 01:26:32,434
So, given the fact
of the world,

1782
01:26:32,436 --> 01:26:34,670
why shouldn't the law
say virtually

1783
01:26:34,672 --> 01:26:36,505
every taking is all right,

1784
01:26:36,507 --> 01:26:38,840
as long as there
is some public benefit?

1785
01:26:38,842 --> 01:26:40,408
Because, Your Honor,
then every property,

1786
01:26:40,410 --> 01:26:42,743
every business,
every home can be taken

1787
01:26:42,745 --> 01:26:43,879
for any private use.

1788
01:26:43,881 --> 01:26:46,014
Only if there is a public use.

1789
01:26:46,016 --> 01:26:47,983
And there almost always is.

1790
01:26:47,985 --> 01:26:50,518

1798
01:27:06,736 --> 01:27:08,703
There is no principled basis
for a Court

1799
01:27:08,705 --> 01:27:10,371
to make a value judgment
about a plan

1800
01:27:10,373 --> 01:27:12,073
to revive an economically
depressed city.

1801
01:27:12,075 --> 01:27:15,977
And where do you draw the line,
Mr. Harrigan?

1802
01:27:15,979 --> 01:27:17,347
I wouldn't draw one.

1803

(O'CONNOR) Say you had a
Motel 6 and the city says,

1804
01:27:21,584 --> 01:27:22,783
"Well, if we had a Ritz-Carlton,

1805
01:27:22,785 --> 01:27:24,486
we would have higher taxes."

1806
01:27:24,488 --> 01:27:25,786
- Now, is that okay?
- Yes, Your Honor.

1807
01:27:25,788 --> 01:27:27,589
That would be okay.

1808
01:27:27,591 --> 01:27:29,691
(SCALIA) So, you can
take from A to give to B

1809
01:27:29,693 --> 01:27:31,026
if B pays more taxes?

1810
01:27:31,028 --> 01:27:34,399
If it is a significant
amount, yes.

1811
01:27:38,502 --> 01:27:40,969

have time remaining.

1812

Thank you, your Honor.

1814

Can you take a Motel 6
and give it to a fancier hotel?

1815
01:27:49,879 --> 01:27:51,481
Their answer is yes.

1816
01:27:53,083 --> 01:27:55,015
The one thing that all
poor neighborhoods share

1817
01:27:55,017 --> 01:27:57,786
is that they don't produce
much tax revenue.

1818
01:27:57,788 --> 01:28:00,792
If the Court affirms
the lower court's decision,

1819
01:28:01,958 --> 01:28:05,093
then you would put
poor neighborhoods

1820
01:28:05,095 --> 01:28:06,728
and working-class neighborhoods

1821
01:28:06,730 --> 01:28:09,464
