Obama Declared 13 National Emergencies — 11 Are Still Active
Fifth (national Emergency), can private landowners, some of whom will be liberals, go to court and stop the use of private land as an easement taken by eminent domain? = No.
There is absolutely no defense available to taking land by eminent domain. How much compensation is owed for taking an easement as a strip of land could take years to fight out in court. But the actual right to use the land cannot be contested. The government can take an easement immediately and then fight later over how much money should be paid to the landowner. Remember that this was the legal holding of the over-the-top, controversial U.S. Supreme Court precedent Kelo v. City of New London, Connecticut, 545 U.S. 469, 125 S. Ct. 2655; 162 L. Ed. 2d 439 (2005). (Kelo ruled that it is not even necessary to show a “public purpose” for eminent domain, which goes too far.)
Legal challenges will not stop construction, even it takes years to reach agreement on the compensation payable to landowners. To finance payment of compensation, Trump should consider offering a land swap of federally-owned tracts of land or selling such public lands.

Anons: this is important for the wall, will help prevent legal challenges relating to imminent domain and ownership.
Setting the stage (Obama style!)
