No, it can't. It is the last SCOTUS ruling on the word you are still misspelling and pronouncing from the way you spell your version of eminent domain. The SCOTUS ruling still stands. No matter how many state legislatures passed laws to neutralize the court ruling, it still stands as the Constitutional ruling on eminent domain.
*snort*
Yes, you are correct that I used the wrong spelling of eminent domain. But if you think about it, they both apply to the act of government seizing property. Imminent as it relates to having your property taken with little notice, and eminent which I think is misapplied to government, because that word implies the presence of a positive quality or a distinguished presence. Government has no positive quality of any kind, and its presence is hardly distinguished, especially when it seizes property that isn't theirs.
All you have left is to attack my spelling and insist that the Tenth Amendment (states rights) doesn't apply to imminent (eminent) domain. If I recall my constitutional law correctly, imminent domain can be defined by states by any means they wish. If they wish to restrict imminent domain for one purpose or expand it for another, the courts have not stopped them from doing so.
Therefore, the constitutional impact of Kelo is nullified.How can youi support something that cannot exist without eminent domain, and had already used eminent domain to establish much of its route,
and then claim you're against eminent domain? The two positions are irreconcilable.
You say it can't exist without government I say it can
Business do shit all the time without the government stealing people's land for it
But not the pipeline you support.
You keep saying that but the pipeline could be built without stealing anyone's land.
The pipeline is not a going to be a public project it is a PRIVATE for profit venture and the fucking government has no business getting involved if the company can't make it happen then that's their problem
So you believe that all of the pipelines that have already been built using eminent domain should be shut off and dug up and disposed of?
Don't be a fucktard
Chances are those could have been done without the fucking government stepping on peoples' rights too
Eminent domain is a government power, which means that opposing it is not a right of the people.
