Imminent domain.  Most Americans think that should the government should be able to force land sales in some cases, but where is the line draw.  Is it okay for a highway?  for national security purposes? for education? for economic stimulation?

Imminent domain sounds much more frightening than eminent domain.

 

Not everyone thinks it is scary.  Sometimes infrastructure and national security demand a forced sale.  Sucks, but there are some times where tough decisions to be made.

Using imminent domain to build a shopping mall is an abuse and is frightening

Not using imminent domain to build an important highway, communication line or military installation CAN be just as frightening.

No one should be so beholden to their political beliefs to allow no bending.  There are times when rights, laws, and the demands of government defined in the constitution or by the people can interfere with one another.
