Honestly, at this point, I’m just surprised nothing like this has been attempted yet.
Wow, I never considered the constitutional implications. Thanks for breaking down the legal barriers, Jessica!
The Fifth Amendment’s eminent domain clause would definitely come into play here. Heavy legal questions.
Does anyone else think this is just performative outrage? The practical hurdles seem insurmountable.
I had no idea the legal process for this was so complex. The precedent alone would be terrifying.
