Right-wing judge lets TransCanada seize Texas farm

What do the surrenderbots have to say about this?

Although the job-killing northern portion of TransCanada's unpopular Keystone XL oil pipeline was rejected, the southern third was approved - leaving farmers, environmentalists, and the Occupy family to do the job of keeping watch over the project. TransCanada wants to use eminent domain to seize land from a Texas farmer to use for the pipeline - even though TransCanada is a corporation, and corporations are not supposed to have eminent domain powers.

Now a right-wing judge has allowed TransCanada to go ahead with its plans.

TransCanada isn't merely trespassing by laying a pipeline across somebody else's farm. This is an outright case of theft - an unconstitutional land grab. Farmers must defend their land and livelihoods from these corporate goons. I should make no apologies when I say this.

Given the fact that the Bill of Rights was intended to prohibit eminent domain by corporations, we shouldn't have to ask legislators to intervene. But because of activist judges, we must. Congress should pass a law making it illegal for corporations to use eminent domain.

Also, the Keystone XL pipeline is designed to pump oil from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico to be shipped abroad. None of the oil is slated for the American market. I believe that as long as any part of the pipeline is built in the U.S., the U.S. should take the oil as a price for building the pipeline. Fair is fair.
