You are making a logic error in conflating the two situations. One case of eminent domain was for a casino parking garage, which would have been owned by a private party who would have been the sole beneficiary of any profit or use of the facility.
The second case was a public agency (a public university) using eminent domain for a library that is owned and operated by the university. Roads, school and libraries are just the type of "public use" projects envisioned by the Constitution for eminent domain cases. The fact that it was a Presidential library is really irrelevant as far as the Constitutional issue goes.
If a private company cannot use eminent domain, then there will never be a factory or manufacturing plant ever built again. Oh sure, they can be built in the middle of the Mojave desert (if the environmental wacko don’t stop it), but factories need to be where the people are to get employees.
I’m not for companies being able to roll over individuals, but there has to be a compromise, using common sense. Especially if we really want jobs and companies to come back to the US. If we’re happy with becoming a 3rd world country, then we should make it as difficult as possible for companies.
As a couple people have said a couple times, it’s a private University. And I’m on my phone at the coffee shop waiting for work so iIcan’t do much research, but iIcan’t see the founders using emm domain for a library or school. Major roads, as that’s not something that can just be moved a block over. But either way iIdisagree with it. If your property isn’t really yours, are you really free? Complete security in your own property should be a founding cornerstone of our Republic.
