??? Hey, I wouldn’t mind ED - I could make a nice, tidy sum from an over-inflated price for my property. It doesn’t bother me at all. We aren’t to be attached to material things in this world anyway - everything, but people we love and cherish, can be replaced.

Remember, eminent domain cases for these private endeavors only comes into play when people refuse an offer of payment.
Of course it is - it is far less complicated for developers to buy from a willing seller. Faster, fewer legal fees, less controversial, etc.
But that doesn’t make it OK. Property owners have every right to refuse an offer of payment. The government does not have the right to then take it from the unwilling property owner and hand it to the private developer. (Or should not, at least - Scalia was right about Kelo when he lumped it with Dred Scott and Korematsu as among the worst Supreme Court decisions ever)

When the railroad came through our town about 1875....only half of the folks wanted to sell....not matter....and there was no dickering....the amount was set...and they got what they got. 100's of people were involved. Do you think that was right?
These cases are so few and far between....it's really not such a big deal compared to what the government pulls....damn owl, stupid frog, wetlands...

There is the mistake you and your fellow cruz supported keep making. Busted in another lie. I've told you repeatedly that I am not a Cruz supporter. I criticized Cruz pretty harshly last week.
But since you can't actually defend Trump, you deflect and lie.

Jeb used eminent domain when he was Gov of Flat to go on people’s private property and cut down their citrus trees.

I have no idea what you are talking about, I never even mentioned Trump. I simply evaluated your statement where you insinuated that you define and represent all conservatives. You don't.
