<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1414043, member: 26302&quot;]The executive order was not renewed. I am stating that its court approved, acceptable law today for the president to impound PM at his wish. Please, (again), cite a court ruling that would challenge this. You mention modern day, well just a few years ago the SC ruled that not only can any government take property for public use, but now they can take property to give to another private user. Basically Fatima if someone in your town wants to build a gas station where your house sits, your town legally can take it from you, (with FMV compensation), and give it to someone else. Americans have absolutely no right to any property any longer, it is all at the pleasure of the government. I would say this has been the &quot;succeeding precendent&quot; in the past 80 years. I think a court would think it quaint if someone thougth they could challenge something as easy to decide as a PM confiscation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, if you have ANY court rulings limiting governments right to confiscate property from the past 80 years, making such confiscation now illegal, I would love to hear it. You are the one who says you report &quot;facts&quot;. Please name the case which you believe overrides the government&#039;s authority. Btw, the case I cite on rulings of condemnations is Kelo vs City of New London. I think it is the most current eminent domain case that has been decided by the SC. Please read that and tell me how you think the government is more restricted now than in 1933.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: BTW, Bush&#039; order was pretty much meaningless anyway since it only applied to Fed agencies, and almost all meinent domain action is done by state and local governments, who are not subject to the executive order.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
