That was the Chevron Deference. It has nothing to do with eminent domain though. If the government wants ("needs") your land they can take it after paying a "fair price".
Gee - I wonder what a fair price would be for land devastated by floods and riddled with fallen trees, debris, and dead bodies?
$750!
This is something that some good lawyers need to examine. The people have to apply for the $750. Someone needs to look at that application and all of the Ts & Cs to make sure those people aren't signing away their land. Sure they would probably get it back if they were tricked, but it would be in court for a long time. The land would likely be poisoned and uninhabitable from the lithium runoff by then.
Eminent domain has to adhere to a real need and a claim of unlimited authority by the feds comes under the very same principle as the chevron case.
No. Authority for Eminent Domain is in the 5th Amendment.
Chevron deference was just so congresspeople didn't have to get their hands dirty making all sorts of regulations.
As for having a real need - you mean something like "the govt needs that Lithium and the sands for the silicon chips because China and Taiwan cornered the market and we will be at war soon"? The govt has used it for all sorts of things. The City of Dallas TX used it to build the death star where the cowboys allegedly play football.
A building and a mine are two different things and the principle that applies to bureaucrats making law is the same as bureaucrats not being able to suspend private ownership of land. Due process applies in both.
