    Valid points.
    IMHO the eminent domain policy should be unconstitutional. The only exception would be in times of
    war. And major war at that where the US is being threatened for one reason or another. At that
    point it could be a matter of life and death. Sadly, this has been going on in one form or another
    since the creation of the USA. Railroad barons, land barons and the government as well.

    point it could be a matter of life and death. Sadly, this has been going on in one form or another

    "In Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005), the Supreme Court allowed a taking
    when the government used eminent domain to seize private property to facilitate a private
    development. The Court considered the taking to be a public use because the community
    would enjoy the furthering of economic development."
    <https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/eminent_domain>

    The most shocking thing to me was that Republicans supported this SCOTUS ruling while
    Democrats argued that Eminent Domain can only be used for public projects such as roads,
    schools or a dam, for example.

    Eminent domain should be usable for any vital public project wherein the project *must* go
    through and there is no other option. I wouldn't require a war to get it done.

    Swill

    I suppose you have a point. The problem with public projects is that there is often dark money
    involved and a lot of game playing with no accounting of what and where funds are spent.

    That being said, I have some indirect experience with eminent domain. I was very young at the time,
    but when the VZ bridge and BQE/Gowanus approach was built in the 60's, many homes were destroyed
    to make room for it.
    People were compensated very well but still, a piece of history was wiped out. My parents used to talk about it all the time.

    Where was this "stealing land!" concern
    when it was the Keystone Pipeline that was
    grabbing farmers land without consent?




    Faced With Land Seizures, Defiant
    Nebraskans Vow to Halt Keystone XL
    Jan 20 2015

    As Canadian energy company
    TransCanada filed eminent domain
    claims against Nebraska landowners
    on Tuesday for the construction of
    the controversial Keystone XL tar
    sands pipeline, families whose
    properties are on the verge of
    forced seizure say they will do
    whatever is necessary to shut down
    the project.

    Landowners from Nebraska's York
    and Holt counties last week filed
    suit against TransCanada to stall
    or even stop construction of the
    Keystone XL pipeline through their
    state. On Tuesday, they continued
    to call on President Barack Obama
    to veto the project altogether.

    Valid points.
    IMHO the eminent domain policy should be unconstitutional. The only >>>exception would be in times of war. And major war at that where the
    US is being threatened for one reason or another. At that point it
    could be a matter of life and death. Sadly, this has been going on in
    one form or another since the creation of the USA. Railroad barons,
    land barons and the government as well.

    "In Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005), the Supreme
    Court allowed a taking when the government used eminent domain to
    seize private property to facilitate a private development. The Court
    considered the taking to be a public use because the community would
    enjoy the furthering of economic development." >><https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/eminent_domain>

    The most shocking thing to me was that Republicans supported this
    SCOTUS ruling while Democrats argued that Eminent Domain can only be
    used for public projects such as roads, schools or a dam, for
    example.

    Eminent domain should be usable for any vital public project wherein
    the project *must* go through and there is no other option. I
    wouldn't require a war to get it done.

    Locally entire neighborhoods were
    bulldozed to make room for the new
    Cowboys stadium. But since the city
    did it (as demanded by millionaire
    Jerry Jones so he could make money)
    it was legal.

    "Ramaswamy Sheds Light on the Climate Cult’s Plot to Steal Land from Americans"

    <https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/12/ramaswamy-sheds-light-climate- cults-plot-steal-land/>

    "One of the major founding ideals behind the creation of the United
    States is being threatened right now in Iowa, according to Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

    John Locke, the Enlightenment thinker whose writings were mined in the production of the Declaration of Independence, believed that the
    fundamental natural rights of man were life, liberty, and property,
    according to Teach Democracy.

    The last is now in danger as Iowa farmers could be forced to sell their property so that carbon-capture pipelines can crisscross the Midwest, Ramaswamy said in a video posted to X.

    “The Great Reset now comes to your backyard. It’s dead wrong & unconstitutional to use *eminent domain* to seize farmland to advance the global climate cult’s carbon capture pipelines in the American midwest.
    Shame on the GOP Establishment for its silence on this critical issue in Iowa,” he wrote in the post."

    "The Climate Cult has nothing to do with the climate. That is one of the
    many reasons why it is a hoax,” he said, adding that the goal is to help China at America’s expense.

    Noting the use of eminent domain to take land for the project from those
    who do not wish to sell, he said, “think of that unconstitutional
    violation, that World Economic Forum vision that you have no property.
    Well, now they’re bringing that to the back yards of even Iowa farmers in
    the United States.

    Ramaswamy opposes eminent domain for private companies and has criticized other GOP presidential candidates for not taking a stand on the issue, according to the Iowa Capital Dispatch.

    “Why am I the only candidate who’s able to even say these things to you?” Ramaswamy said. “It’s because every politician dances to the tune of
    their biggest donor, like a fact of nature.”

    The pipelines take carbon dioxide, such as that produced at ethanol
    plants, and trap it underground.

    Ramaswamy said there’s a domino effect if eminent domain is used to fight climate change."

    "Ethanol plants are not the only things that emit carbon dioxide into the air. You mark my words, if that meets the test, that justifies the Biden administration or anybody else coming after him to be able to come into
    your home and seize your gas stove and leave a $50 check in your
    mailbox,” Ramaswamy said recently, according to NBC News.

    Kathy Stockdale, a corn and soybean farmer whose land has been identified
    for a possible pipeline, said she worries about what might go wrong.

    “If there was a leak on our farm, we will be dead. We are in the kill
    zone,” she said."

    "It has happened before. In February 2020, heavy rain resulted in a
    pipeline rupture near Satartia, Mississippi. A CO2 plume made up of
    31,405 barrels of highly compressed liquid carbon dioxide settled over
    the town, sending 45 people to the hospital and forcing 200 others to evacuate, according to Inside Climate News.

    Carbon capture projects, which include pipelines such as the one being
    fought in Iowa, have already been funded with $1.8 billion in U.S.
    taxpayers’ dollars.

    More than $12 billion in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the
    Inflation Reduction Act is designed to build more projects."

    "The projects do not always deliver what they promise, according to a
    2022 report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial
    Analysis.

    The report said 10 of 13 flagship carbon capture projects between 1986
    and 2019 either underperformed or were abject failures."

    Ethanol smells like Hell, especially near large cities.

    Obama wasted billions of tax payer dollars on left wing nutjob
    climate startups and the vast majority went bankrupt.

    The CEOs made millions, everyone else got screwed.

    Need more proof that Obama is pulling the strings on the Biden
    presidency?
