Jennifer Thompson is one of the property rights attorneys at the Pacific Legal Foundation.

And we talked about the case of the Levin family in San Francisco, who were forced to pay two years worth of the difference between the rent they charged their tenant and the rent the tenant had to pay at his new place, in cash, before they were allowed to take their property off the rental market.

The Phoenix Federalist Society is doing an event about the 10 year anniversary of the awful Kelo v. New London eminent domain case on June 17.
