I don't see where government always uses the policy of the ends justifying the means. It's not a black and white issue. Granted there have been some emminent domain issues that were wrong. But, to us that as an excuse to bash government is just more of the same old extremists argument for limiting government.
Perhaps it should also be noted that most instances of the misuse of eminent domain has been done by local governments, that level of government often referred to as "closest to the people" and, to some, "social governance."
Perhaps it should be noted that most cases meet the requirements of law. The case under discussion, Kelo v. City of New London, went to SCOTUS.

Perhaps it should also be noted that some misunderstand that local government is not social governance.
