"Maybe this has been said, but they do have to PAY for it, and pay fair market value."

So it's ok for the government to seize someone's property to build a Walmart, so long as the government gives them "market value"? Who defines what's "fair" market value? Lawyers? Great; I trust them about as far as I can throw them. And what happens to renters when CVS decides that the house they're living in would make a great spot for a pharmacy? The owner loses their house and the renters are out in the street. Great place, this new "america". What happens when you get on the bad side of the wrong politician? What happens when politicians with signigicant political influence run into money troubles and need fast cash from 'donors'?

Unlimited, unrestrained seizure of property is the antithesis of private property rights, and I fully support the right of any property owner who exercises their second Amendment rights to protect their property at all costs from any seizure resulting from this ruling.

Did anything in my post say I agree with this ruling? Seriously, no. I simply disagree with mischaracterization of the facts.

And by the way the appraiser of your choice determines the value.

The Supreme Court will act in a condescending manner and rule as it pleases until we stop relying on inflammatory arguments and personal attacks.

I am simply calling for those interested in an issue to get informed about it before spouting off.
