Why is "confiscating" in quotes? Is that not exactly what eminent domain takings are?

You generally don’t get paid ~market rate for confiscations.

[HDThoreaun]

The constitution says the government cant confiscate anything without due process, so not sure why thats relevant.

[llamaimperative]

Eminent domain is considered due process

[HDThoreaun]

Eminent domain requires paying market rate

[llamaimperative]

Which… was my first point.

[HDThoreaun]

You said you don’t get market rate.

I take the view that land is not chattel and they should not be conflated.
