icanthearyou 4,462 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I think you have to look at eminent domain for public purposes versus private purposes. In my opinion, there is a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigeremt 6,616 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 These were not the comments during the Keystone Pipeline threads... Seizing property for big oil is all good. This is a patently false statement. There is a significant diffference between paying premium prices and they would have been premium to appraised value and simply TAKING what people have worked their whole lives for. Of course I wouldn't expect you to understand that "TransCanada has used eminent domain on another part of the pipeline route (NYTimes). In a 2012 ruling, Texas Judge Bill Harris HRS -0.81% of Lamar County upheld TransCanada’s takeover by eminent domain of a strip of land across Julia Trigg Crawford’s pasture in Paris, Texas to build part of its Keystone XL pipeline. The ruling was delivered in a 15-word text message sent from the Judge’s iPhone, demonstrating the seriousness with which the Judge handled such a constitutionally-charged case. Not sure if that ruling is a first in judicial history, but I guess it was better than a Tweet." http://www.forbes.co...stone-pipeline/ you do realize that eminent domain does not entitle them to simply TAKE their property right? The are paid handsomely for their property nitwit. Uncalled for. Stop it. AGREED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
