Does a private pipeline that adds to national economic security = public good?
Last century with the railroads the answer was yes.

The Keystone pipeline is a "common carrier" and thus has the same right to "eminent domain" as do the railroads, public highways, etc.

I believe that it was actually “hell, yeah”.
Of course, we have cases now where eminent domain is use for the good of well-connected people (only).

They aren’t saying it can’t be ED just that it must be through the state commission and not the private company as required by state law - second time I’ve seen this story in about two weeks both times people on both sides misread it.
