Then, you must do your level-best to overturn this unjust law, this Eminent Domain monster that you despise so much.

I, of course, will fight you every step of the way. I find myself in good company, since the Founding Fathers were the ones who established the premises on which Eminent Domain law is foundationed.

Laz, you should be very thankful that you haven't seen eminent domain being abused to give politically connected private parties commercial land at sweetheart prices.

It happens all over the place, though. You do need to keep an eye on who your city and county officials are schmoozing with--that will usually give you an early warning "WASSSUP!"

Not to butt in, but isn't Eminent Domain based on even older British law?
