I'm for the pipelines under CAPITALISM, and NOT "Eminent Domain".
If the two parties can't come to an agreement, then buy someone else's land who will sell.

I appreciate the attempt to come up with a solution like that, but that isn’t reasoned either. I think you know that.

The pipeline needs to go in a fairly straight line for economic reasons. You can’t triple the cost of the pipeline by swerving back and forth and all around to avoid having to use someone’s back 40 to get the job done.

That's a cute way out of your problem. So where is Ted Cruz or any conservative politician arguing that oil pipelines should never make use of eminent domain, even though they do, all the time?
