AMTK is not Federal Property. It is a PRIVATE COMPANY that happens to be owned by the Federal Government. The railroads from which it acquired assets were chartered by the several STATES.In your zeal for principles trounced with the confederate traitors to the US back in the civil war, you fail to consider relevant legal authority to the contrary. As I noted, your arguments apply to the Federal Reserve too. Your suggestion that states have the authority to seize federally authorized and chartered entities is lunacy that was rejected circa 1865. Can they send the National Guard down there and physically seize it? Probably not. Just 'probably not', comrade? Given AMTKs financial status, maybe they will be open to making a sale of the station, particularly if they get a good deal on the use thereof without the expense. What on earth gives you the idea that anyone else would all of the burden with none of the upside? Get real. If you cannot think outside of the box, then you are doomed to live in a box. You're not thinking outside the box. You're thinking inside a very old, discredited box by thinking that NY can seize NYP from Amtrak. |
