re: #45 Cato the Elder

I don’t believe there is a power of eminent domain in the nation that could stop the building of a religious institution of any kind without instant First Amendment court injunctions raining down from the judiciary.

Ok… then how can he even bring this up if it’s not possible. I’m not a politician, not a constitutional expert nor a lawyer. Does he know something that a lot of us don’t understand. Has ED ever been used to deny a religious organization to build, or used to reclaim property from a religious organization?
