Looks like we have another "let me explain how it is" guy.

Hot Tip: I was discussing how it should be. Not how it was, is, or will be. I was not discussing law, the constitution, case law or precedent. I don't care about any of that, it is beyond the scope of my comments or concern.

So feel free to "explain how any of this works", just don't assume I care.

Pipeline companies are not drilling companies. One is a producer, and one is a transporter. The latter negotiate drilling rights; the former negotiate right of way.

You may not have intended it, but you sound like one of those people who just say "the oil company" when referring to everything from the well to the pump. This isn't Mexico (or Venezuela, or Saudi,...)

It matters because ignorance of how these things work means that people who have nothing to do with an issue at hand get painted with a broad brush as being complicit. Eminent domain issues are controversial enough without mixing in incomplete information.
