Again, I simply think disenfranchising a few property owners isn’t a sin worse than the building of this thing. Yeah, I don’t feel good about it, but come on, we’re talking much bigger stakes.
That we are quibbling over these important but ultimately minor points while dealing with an existential threat to this nation is alarming to me. This is a textbook case of the frog in the water not noticing while the heat is being turned up.
I agree with you on most of this.
Maybe we ought to let them (try to) build it, then have a more conservative administration exercise eminent domain and force them off it and tear it down again.
I prefer this plan. Riskier but somehow more satisfying.
