Eminent Domain Gone Berserk

Newsmax reports:
John Wilson, a 20-year member of Long Island's 175-acre Deepdale Golf Club, established in 1955, is mad as hell that the nearby exclusive village of North Hills, N.Y., wants to seize the venerable club through eminent domain -– not for a road or a public hospital, but to use as its own community golf course.

Wilson is just one of many Americans who have discovered that the traditional concept of eminent domain -– which allows government to appropriate property for public use -– has been turned upside down by recent court rulings and greedy government officials.
Eminent domain is nothing more than large scale theft of property.
