Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act
To the best of my understanding of the Constitution, it remains that since the ratification of the Constitution, the only way that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds can constutionally control how INTRAstate private property is used is to purchase the land in compliance with the 5th Amendment’s eminent domain clause.
Corrections, insights welcome.
This issue is arguably another example of what Thomas Jefferson and James Madison warned patriots to be on their guard against with respect to the corrupt federal government unconstitutionally expanding its powers in gradual steps.
”I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” —James Madison, Speech at the Virginia Convention to ratify the Federal Constitution (1788-06-06)
”To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition.” —Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson's Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791
”The system of the General Government is to seize all doubtful ground. We must join in the scramble, or get nothing. Where first occupancy is to give right, he who lies still loses all.” —Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 1797.
In fact, it looks like the year 2000 that President Clinton signed the Religious Land Use bill into law was an election year, corrections welcome.

Patriots need to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
