Why don't you run for dictator then. I'm sure you can do a much better job and the press will fawn over you and lay roses at your feet.
To: DaveTesla
He just granted himself unconstitutional power. Just great.
Congress better get going and stop this one DEAD.

It's about time. Was the WH being as slow as molasses in January, or what?

The big question is weather the Federal government will
enforce the Constitution in respect to the local or state
actions. Generally I don't believe the Federal Government should
interfere in the actions of the state but when it comes to the
Constitution I believe the Federal government has an OBLIGATION
to do so.
This is just such a case.
Unfortunately this order only pertains to the taking by the Federal Government.

Plans for the Canadian, USA, Mexico Corridor (including any governmental confiscation for easements) remains intact. As does expansions for existing interstates.
In Texas, compensation for takings for the Trans-Texas Corridor will be paid by a private corporation.

I'm not sure how this does anything to mitigate what Justice Souter so notoriously supported this past year.
It sounds like he's simply proclaiming the status quo, save for the fact that the status quo will be only monitored.
So what?
To: JerseyHighlander
Throw a dog a bone. You hit the nail on the head, this is nothing more than another halfhearted attempt to appease 'the base'.
A pitiful attempt, I might add.

Compensations isn't what I was addressing; I have no doubt there will be plenty of compensations going on.

He just granted himself unconstitutional power. Just great. No he didn't. As head of the Executive Branch, he can say what federal agencies will spend money on and what they will not spend money on. And, via this EO, they will not spend money on any private takings.

It certainly didn't take long for the loud hollering "It's not good enough" to begin.
Sigh.

Andalux Resources had a lease which is a
property right.

Texas has already passed an eminent domain restriction. But, as you say, local governments and school districts do most of the takings in this country.
NM passed one too, but that RAT Governor, Bill Richardson, REFUSED to sign it!! I can't wait until he starts his Presidential run. I will follow him around making sure everyone knows that he WILL take their property away from them. LOL THAT will sink him!!

Specific Exclusions. Nothing in this order shall be construed to prohibit a taking of private property by the Federal Government, that otherwise complies with applicable law, for the purpose of: This seems to say exactly nothing.

It says that the feds will do a private taking if it is for a project that is "public use." That has always been the case.
