This one should be easy to break down. What do you say. Remember our dictionary. Attachments:

regarding this bill: here is the first graph:
GENERAL.—No State or political subdivision 7 of a State shall exercise its power of eminent domain, or 8 allow the exercise of such power by any person or entity 9 to which such power has been delegated, over property to 10 be used for economic development or over property that 11 is used for economic development within 7 years after that 12 exercise, if that State or political subdivision receives Fed13 eral economic development funds during any fiscal year 14 in which the property is so used or intended to be used.
To simplify for the sake of understanding here's the first graph with some subordinate clauses removed
GENERAL.—No State or political subdivision 7 of a State shall exercise its power of eminent domain over property to 10 be used for economic development or over property that 11 is used for economic development within 7 years after that 12 exercise,
i know there is a clause about katrina victims further down in the bill, but read this text straight line. this doesn't seem like protection of private property like your house and land. economic development IS the reason states, counties, and local governments use emiment domain to take private property as was done in connecticut a few years ago. here it seems that emineb domain is restricted from being exercised on land slated for economic development.
am i making sense?

That's why I posted it. It seems they are protecting the "private" property given to entities under eminent domain in the first place. They cite a 7 year time limit , I wonder if there is a limit on the time to file suit against the original use of eminent domain. If your home were put under an eminent domain execution, how long do you have to file suit against it? It's very Orwellian.
