Something every land/home owner needs to be aware of

[Brenjen]

Eminent domain is the biggest bunch of horse puckey ever shoveled.

 I can understand the needs of the people to have power & water etc. but when tey allow privately owned companies to steal peoples private property I just get so mad I could spit nails.

 I heard of a recent case where a state (Michigan?) is trying to use it to get 37 acres of land from Exxon mobil & Exxon is taking it all the way to the supreme court. It's funny to see the shoe on the other foot, I'm sure Exxon has gotten land through eminent domain.

I agree. And maybve thats what it will take. People to die in defence of their property for there to create an uproar.

Personally that is about the only way I'd be willing to take up arms against my government.

that or if one of our presiudents decides to try to proclaim himself king

Forcing someone out of their home to let someone else use it is a disgrace to this country.  However, is it a federal issue?  Why can't the states handle it?

 It can be used by city, county, state or federal govt.

what did they actually decide?

The case was brought over a town issue right?
