Arizona already has a good law on the books concerning this type of abuse of public power. It is specific to eminent domain and the 5th amendment. But 48 other states don't. So when they come to take your house away because Costco will give them a better tax base, I hope you are as tolerant.
That's the heart of the matter. Your state has done it's legislative duty on this front. SCOTUS isn't supposed to set policy. People bitching about how they don't like the decision puzzle me - SCOTUS is judicial, and in this case clarified - yes, the 14 amendment is still in effect.
Now it is up to states to formlate wise policy in this matter.
