true only to a limited point. this is more so the case in point with spending money on programs. most "liberal" politicians generally want to keep or enhance social programs whereas the "conservative" view point is cut social programs or reduce spending. to say this was a liberal decision is hog wash, it is a borderline communistic decision. emminent domain for social reasons is a liberal one, i have no idea what emminent domain for private development could possibly be. technically it isn't even communicistic since a corporation can do what ever they want with that land once it has been taken over.Liberals aren't concerned with teh individual- they're concerned with the Public.
Someone's been watching me.... :wink:dmc said:smitty77 said:I hope the story is true, and I hope it all goes through. I would love to see it get shoved right up his arse. I don't care what the ruling implies. Sure states can pass legislation to close the loophole, but what if they do the opposite and open the floodgates for land-grabbing? I agree with SkiDog - I bought it, it's mine, and you're not going to take it from me.

Just for arguments sake... Cause I love to play "devils advocate"...
What if you had several neighbors that had crappy trashed houses that were bringing your property values down and someone wanted to enact this law to put in nicer buildings that would crank your value back up and better the entire community?
April: The Rangers shepherd through the Texas legislature a bill that creates the Arlington Sports Facilities Development Authority (ASFDA), a quasi-governmental entity that is given the power of eminent domain. Shortly after the bill is signed by new governor Ann Richards, 13 acres of private property are seized for the Rangers' new ballpark, later prompting two lawsuits.

dmc said:Interesting...
Was just reading that GWB and cronies used "Eminant Domain" to secure 13 acres of private land from private citizens to build the Texas Rangers stadium...

SkiDog said:You know that, like mentioned, this happens with almost all stadiums. I would ask what the "conditions" of that "private" land were? Was it nice, or a dump? The eminent domain law obviously isnt new, just this new "twist" on it. Still stinks..noone should ever have their personal property taken for any reason unless they feel like giving it up.
They would've invoked eminent domain in NYC if they had approved the new Jets stadium.
I think the Yanks aren't taking any private land though, they'll be using the park right next to the stadium..
