How CRC Exposes Judicial Lobbying by Special
Interests

The Takings Project
The Takings Project: Using Federal
Courts to Attack Community and Environmental Protections
is a comprehensive investigative report that chronicles and
critiques the increasingly successful campaign by conservative
legal activists to use the court system to further an anti-regulatory
political agenda. The report traces what it dubs the "Takings
Project" from its roots in the U.S. Justice Department
under Attorney General Edwin Meese, through the systematic
efforts of developers and property rights groups to move takings
cases through the court system and finally to the case law,
where conservative jurists have ignored procedural rules and
made significant leaps in the face of precedent in order to
upend the accepted interpretation of the Takings Clause.
