Alabama, my home state, limits eminent domain.
Haha, they can still take your house! Not mine. I bet you wish YOUR state would follow Alabama’s lead.
You never thought you’d read that line and it actually be true did you?

Um, first?
Gotta love the south, always willing to take a stand for states’ rights
Was that sarcasm?
In Soviet Wisconsin, property owns you.
Our state motto:
“We DARE Defend Our Rights”
My husband had to drag me kicking and screaming into Alabama…(as a Florida native, I tended to look down on the rednecks)…I also told him I had WAY too many of my teeth to become a resident of Alabama.
But five happy years later, I can say I’m DAMN proud to be an Alabama redneck.
Actually, that wasn’t sarcasm. The southern and western states have a history of being very states’ rights oriented. Local control is a big thing.
alabama… where gun control means you hit what you were aiming at…
Alabama… where it’s okay that she’s your cousin.
I think Nevada is leaning in the same direction. They had better since I saw Steve Wynn checking out my neighborhood while riding a bulldozer.
Maryland…
No idea what they’re up to about it in Annapolis. Not a peep in the papers here. Although, being one of the few Republicans in the state, I’m out of the loop.
If I had money, I’d try to “eminent domain” the State House so I could put up a nudie bar. THAT’S where the money is, and the back-breaking taxes we’re so used to will bring in even more than the state Lotto (match 5 numbers out of six, win an ice cream cone). Plus it would make me rich muaahahahaha….
Screw States’ Rights.
Around here, it means the State has the right to do anything to you it wants.
Unless you have lots of money, and donate most of it to Democrat causes. Then you’re usually immune.
I think they were taught the Golden Goose thing. Don’t choke the population, just do enough to keep them voting for you while there’s still a 20 in the wallet.
But that was back when school was for learning stuff. Now it’s for learning chants like “BusHitler sucks” and stuff like that.
Utah already had restrictions on eminent domain before Kelo. The law enumerates the things your land can be taken for, and although your land can be taken for the processing of beet sugar, it cannot be taken for private development.
I’m glad they did this. “Sweet Eminent Domain, Alabama” doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Hey Pa! Bring the shot-gun! It’s the Revenuers!
I just wish our liberal congressional majority and socialist president would pass such limits nationwide.
