No, I don't like eminent domain one iota. I almost lost my house and land (in Tennessee) to a private, for profit company (from Pennsylvania) when my local county "officials" decided it would be a good idea to grant the right of eminent domain to this company so that they could seize land for an unneeded and nonviable pump storage power generation project. Our then Congresscritter, Zach Wamp (R), was absolutely no help at all. In legal circles it's called "president". If you don't see the seriousness of this issue you likely will very soon. If they can line up, grant themselves special powers that don't exist in the law and very nearly take my house and land, along with my neighbors houses and land, they can do the same to you, too! This was well before Kelo, BTW......
What is the solution then. I have seen it’s ugly side and know very well the tyranny of our elected officials.
If we don’t change the law there is nothing else to do.
Hmm... That's an curious usage of that word. Could they have actually been saying, "precedent"?
