Apologies for acting as spelling police, but it's urgently important that all of us be prepared to go out and educate the public about this awesomely important issue that isn't even on most people's radar screens, and to come across in a way that doesn't open us up to any criticism or ridicule.

The term is "eminent" (not "imminent") domain. Both are real words, but they mean two different things. However, the term "imminent" does have plenty of applicability when discussing this eminent domain decision, as in "The end of our Constitutional republic seem imminent". No wonder you got confused . . .
