What Is Eminent Domain?

Eminent domain is the term used to describe the government's power to seize private property for public use.
This video describes the controversial power of eminent domain, as granted by the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and also introduces the influential and controversial Supreme Court case of Kelo v. City of New London.

    just add it to the pile of laws im shocked everyone in the country hasing collectivly banned togather to get rid of becuase this kind of law puts everyones property at risk, i guess the rich wouldint really care that much cuase they can always move to an equily lavish place but the fact that everyone else is just content to ignore this blade hanging over theyre head is just weird to me... but then the average person doesint care about any damn thing thats not directly in front of them and hurting them spicificly.

    One of the worse things about eminent domain besides it being immoral is it deincentivizes property city planning zoning. I mean if you could just bulldoze something you don't like out of the way on a dime then why would you properly plan where to put stuff without interfering with anyone else's property? It's just a really bad policy and regardless of it being constitutional is it's unacceptable.

    Private property is a right, eminent domain is unconstitutional.

    I agree with you completely and consider it morally wrong… However, it is completely Constitutional depending on your interpretation of the 5th Amendment/ 14th Amendment and the “Taking Clause”… Until there’s a Constitutional Convention to change this (I think most libs and conservatives would agree to change it) , I see this being an issue for a long time…because, our politicians are all bought and paid for…

    If a nation expands socialism, would it be able to argue eminent domain to take private property and make it available for public use, such as was proposed during the pandemic to house strangers in your home if you have a spare room?

    interesting question. Public interest is probably too weak in that case; it's more likely for empty (private) warehouses or gyms. There were cases in some countries in Europe where that happened (or was proposed) during the refugee crisis.
