Article: At last, some clarity: the potential long-term impact of Lingle v. Chevron and the separation of takings and substantive due process.

I. INTRODUCTION

Regulatory takings often is considered one of the most doctrinally confused areas of constitutional law. Bucking its general habit of adding to this confusion with every takings case that it hears, the Supreme Court recently provided some clarity to takings doctrine in Lingle v. Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (1) Indeed, this clarity has the potential to make Lingle far more significant than Kelo v. City of New London, (2) which has dominated the commentary about the Court's recent takings decisions. (3) This clarity may also have the counterintuitive effect of helping property rights advocates more than the short-term defeat in Lingle hurt them. (4)
