    Just wondering since building this would use eminent domain laws to force the sale of lands to a foreign corporation. I have listened to conservatives complain about these laws but when it comes to this pipeline they ignore that these laws are being used to force sale to a Canadian corp mostly owned by China. Why is the opinion different of this issue?

    Because we are pro energy. And Obama is anti-energy. It has nothing to do eminent domain.

    Because in this case it will make corporations richer, they usually only oppose it if it's for a new national park or something else they can't profit off of.
