What dodging the question? I stated that eminent domain should be decided by local communites with the provision that the property owner get a fair price.
What is so indefensible about that? Oh that is right you are a Libertarian and beleive that the 10th amendment does not exist. Excuse me.
Fine. How about the other one:
If it were your local community, and you were asked, would you like eminent domain used for economic development, or to increase the tax base?
Oh that is right you are a Libertarian and beleive that the 10th amendment does not exist.
Oh, I like the 10th Amendment just fine, and the 9th Amendment as well. Very limited federal powers, everything not enumerated is forbidden. And I fully realize that states would have powers to do all sorts of very un-libertarian things. But we could concentrate in one small state and establish Libertarian government there.
And mark my words, if we did ever try that, the federal politicians you elect would ignore the 10th Amendment and override our state and local governments by force.
I can't ever imagine you supporting the 10th Amendment so that state and local governments could have less laws than the fed. But I can imagine you supporting it, only to the extent that local governments could be more restrictive. Am I mistaken?
