Pipeline eminent domain + U.S. Supreme Court

Ranchers in North Dakota are taking their eminent domain case about just compensation and attorney fees to the U.S. Supreme Court. 

Here is who we got here: A pipeline company made an offer that seemed way too low to the ranchers. The trial court agreed with the ranchers and admitted into evidence market rate data for pipeline takings. Following this legal arguments were traded about whether the pipeline must pay the ranchers attorneys’ fees per North Dakota law. A bunch of legal Abracadabra and now Leonard Hoffmann v. WBI Energy Transmission is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case. My oh my what will a conservative court do with private property takings by a private entity?
