The limits of fedgov's audacity seem to know no bounds. Remember Americans, you own no property, it's fedgov's whenever it wants it.

[fezzyfestoon]

Alright

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

Alright

So you have no objections?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Alright

So you have no objections?

We hear eminent domain stories all the time......

[HappyWarrior]

I read this and thought by Fedgov you meant some Russian man.

[bullmoose88]

Where's the constitutional beef?

[Oakvale]

I don't see the problem.

Also, is "fedgov" really a commonly used colloquialism?

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

I don't see the problem.

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. The government coming to steal the family farm your family has owned and worked for generations? Big deal, welcome to the U.S.S.A.

Libertas, once again, eminent domain stories are dime a dozen.  I don't always agree with its use, but this isn't news, is it?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Is eminent domain as a whole bothering you, or this particular case of its use?

[Oakvale]

I don't see the problem.

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. The government coming to steal the family farm your family has owned and worked for generations? Big deal, welcome to the U.S.S.A.

I'm not expert on the concept of eminent domain under US law, by any means, but, as was said, I was under the impression it was relatively common for stuff like this to happen.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

I feel for the Rainvilles, but this is exactly the sort of thing that eminent domain is supposed to be used for.  Now if the government were using it get the land to build a shopping center for Canadians taking advantage of the strong loonie, I'd be upset, but not with an expanded border station.

So you think stealing a family farm to build some government police station is justified?

[memphis]

This is nowhere near as nauseating as the case from Rhode Island a few years back. The house my dad grew up in was torn down to expand I-240. The owners were compensated. Stuff happens.

It's perfectly constitutional.

For the last time YES.

You don't have to keep drawing it out after every "there's nothing wrong with this."

$39,500 an acre is probably a lot more than that struggling old farm is worth.  If anything, these guys are stealing from the government.

Please go read the Constitution before you use it to defend things that defy it.

That is a disgusting sentiment. Perhaps they will come for your property next.

As long as you are being compensated, who cares? Now of course a lot of these places have special attachments to people and that cannot be paid off by the government. So yeah, it's not a black or white issue. But usually if the owners are compensated properly, I don't mind.

[Lief 🗽]

Like Ernest said, this is a perfect example of the purpose of eminent domain, a power given to the federal government by the constitution you profess to love so much.

When a robber robs you, it doesn't matter that he gives you something else to take away that you valued less than what was stolen.

A robber usually gives you something in exchange? Do you even live in the real world?

Are we to conclude from this that you're opposed to eminent domain on principle?

I'm pretty much opposed to armed robbery as a matter of principle, yes.

[fezzyfestoon]

Alright

So you have no objections?

We hear eminent domain stories all the time......

Exactly.  People only bitch about it when it happens to them and then fanatics use it as "proof" eminent domain is abusive and "unconstitutional".
