Eminent Domain. Eminent domain refers to the power possessed by the state over all property within the state, specifically its power to appropriate property for a public use. The Department of Homeland Security decided in a fit of exuberance to make major improvements to that hotbed of terrorist activity on Vermont’s border with Canada, and was planning on using eminent domain as the vehicle for confiscating the land needed from local farmers. Land that had been in their families for generations.
Janet, why not put this sleepy border town on hold and let your gaze drift southwest a bit. Why would this quiet little border crossing in Vermont be a critical matter when your office is doing NOTHING about the flood of illegal aliens streaming across our southern borders? Wouldn’t it be easier for a terrorist to cross into the United States across the broad open border in 
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California? Areas where the sheer numbers of crossings would make it much easier to slip through than through a sleepy farming area of Vermont, where border crossings are few and far between, where neighbors know each other and strangers stand out.
It seems that the inmates have taken over the asylum in Washington. For whatever reason, the people in power in our Nation’s Capital think that we have ceded our sovereign rights and authority to them. The seem to have forgotten that they are considered public SERVANTS, not public overlords. Sadly, they seem to have shut their ears to our complaints and it looks as though we are going to have to absolutely sweep them out of the House and Senate come election day. We also need to remember that only 1/3 of the Senate is being replaced this year, 2/3 of these usurpers will still be in office and they will have to be remembered when the time comes for their re-election campaigns.
But that is just
My Arrogant Opinion
