The Feds are Using Eminent Domain Against a Large State

A potential precursor to the Bureau of Land Management tussle with Texas, the U.S. government has filed an eminent domain suit against California. A developer acquired land at a federal auction. He wants to do what he does- redevelop, but the street leading to the area needs improvement. The Feds are claiming eminent domain to upgrade a road for its building and any other related purpose, including a sale of government land.  [San Jose Mercury News]
