This article http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/23/AR2005062300783_pf.html relates to the issue of eminent domain. In particular how do you feel about the definition of "public use"?

civil liberties
Hello again. Just wanted to send another link that has a list of civil liberties issues. In particular, they discuss the issue of banning smoking in private bars and restaurants or banning cigarettes in general. Is this okay in terms of civil liberties and a limited national government? http://civilliberty.about.com/cs/i.htm

Patiot Act
In class we are discussing civil rights and civil liberties. Recently, a district court ruled against parts of the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act is relevant to right to privacy and limited government. Check out the following article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20624404/
Just food for thought.
