Trumps wall might be blocked by a tiny church and a law the right loves

[Grassroots]

Which is very rare, existing highways developed alongside private property, not after.

@Cortez

Its the right answer he is out President he must be obeyed

@CanadianJudo

There is no law that states you need to obey the President.

I’m pretty sure this is a parody account, CJ.

It has to be, right?

[lessright]

We should ask Trump where the bulldozer is. Last I heard it was clearing brush for the first new barrier construction he’s actually got started.

Finish the Wall!!!

BTW - the surveyors have been there. How far behind can the bulldozers be?

[lessright]

Forget about this piece of property, No application for eminent domain just means they haven’t gotten there yet. They will. Unless you foresee miles of property donated to the feds. It’s inevitable to build the wall Trump wants. You shouldn’t pretend any different.

I could tell you but I signed an NDA.

Too obvious. You should study Mr. Cap to see how to more properly do this.

[Weedhopper]

You mean the wall that’s supposed to protect the American people with based off of facts?

@Cortez

He was elected by the people so the people must go along with what he thinks is right

Are we a dictatorship now?

@CanadianJudo

so now the government is going to bulldoze a church to build this wall

And the religious right may very well cheer it on lol

They will declare it the “wrong kind of” church…many are quite happy to make declarations as to who is a real christian and who is not…

[blueapplepaste]

He had a GOP Congress for 2 years and still didn’t get his wall. Sad!

Seems like thats a common debate in the religion forum

trump want to build his wall in the rio grande valley. however there my be a church in the way.

right by the rio grande stands the La Lomita chapel,first built in the mid 1800’s. In order to build the wall the land will have to be taken by eminent domain since the church wont sell.

however the Religious Freedom Restoration Act,which is teh law hobby lobby used to deny health benefits for contraception stands in the way

the law prohibits government actions that substantially burden the exercise of religion without the government establishing a compelling governmental interest and no other means of satisfying that interest

the diocese has already filed papers in court to protect the church from seizure

Church uses Religious Freedom Restoration Act to contest Trump’s new wall section

Applying eminent domain to a religious property is bad voodoo. I’m against doing that.

[CaughtInTheMiddle]

Trump has been trying to use eminent domain his entire career. He finally gets to start taking American’s personal property.
