Still deciding, but it ranks up there with "starting a poll-less thread in the poll section"

Misspelling "greatest."
Hmmm... since everything there with the exception of the internment camps, I see as a positive, I would go with trying to stack the Supreme Court. One of the worst things a President has ever attempted.
You mean you support eminent domain, one of the grossest abuses of governmental power?

My only problem with eminent domain is when its used to build a walmart or something. If its essential infrastructure, than its probably a good thing.
There's just one problem with the idea though. The government pays you the market rate for that home. Here's the catch, if that money was worth what you value the house minus the labor of moving, you would sell yourself. As such, the property owner gets trampled upon by the government because the property owner NECESSARILY takes a loss. There is no way around this: the government always undercompensates the property owner.

In most eminent domain cases where the land in question is to be privatized, the company that stands to gain the land compensates the owners, not the government. In Louisville, where I live, UPS bought huge tracts of land and took over many neighborhoods in their expansion. They compensated the owners 20% above the market value of their property.
That's probably true, but if its infrastructure, wealth in general is probably going to be raised as we have better electricity, roads, sewers, whatever.

If net utility is raised then the government could pay people so that they would voluntarily leave rather than force them to leave.
But they still had to use eminent domain, did they not? In which case the transaction was still not voluntary and the property owners still then probably lost in the end.
