That has been happening in NJ since 1999 (that I know of)
Farms have been seized left and right.
You may remember hearing about this most famous one. Our former Governor (Gay American) threatened this farmer.

Remember this story? Political bribes a la McGreevey "Machiavellian" style?
I stupidly thought the Halper Farm issue was put to rest since this scandal was busted.
Washington Stables http://www.washingtonstables.com owned by Halper's Family Farm will be shut down by October 2005 a la eminent domain.
(NO, not the only story, just the one that got the most media coverage)
Is it time for a born again party in America? Electing conservatives who are supposed to put conservatives on the bench hasn't been working to well. Maybe its time to change our approach to things. Maybe the criteria for the politicians should be their faith.
