Why is "confiscating" in quotes? Is that not exactly what eminent domain takings are?

- llamaimperative 2y agoYou generally don’t get paid ~market rate for confiscations.
- HDThoreaun 2y agoThe constitution says the government cant confiscate anything without due process, so not sure why thats relevant.
- llamaimperative 2y agoEminent domain is considered due process
- HDThoreaun 2y agoEminent domain requires paying market rate
- llamaimperative 2y agoWhich… was my first point.
- HDThoreaun 2y agoYou said you don’t get market rate.
- llamaimperative 2y agoI was saying that you get paid approximately market rate, which makes it obviously not merely "confiscation", ergo using scare quotes "confiscation" to describe eminent domain is pretty reasonable.
