Uh, teenager. POTUS's position was behind the SCOTUS position.
Knowing his conservative property owner base was wavering, Bush’s political handlers seized an opportunity to make them feel good by issuing a nonsense EO supposed to manipulate the masses into believing he disavows Kelo and supports private property.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Like so many states now addressing the Supreme Court decision through legislation, Mr. Bush appears to be condemning eminent domain, but in reality, he’s condoning its use by incorporating many of the current abuses and then expanding the governmental fiat.
Section 3 of the EO sets out specific exclusions or purposes under which private property can be taken by the federal government. They include “Public ownership or exclusive use of the property by the public, such as for a public…roadway, park, forest, governmental office building, or military reservation; (b) projects designated for public, common carrier, public transportation, or public utility use, including those for which a fee is assessed; (c) conveying the property to a non-governmental entity; (d) preventing or mitigating a harmful use of land that constitutes a threat to public health, safety, or the environment.”
The executive branch was following the judcial branch, and the only way you can change the judical branch is to elect a sympathetic executive and legislative branch, and IMO, you are sympahtetic to the executive and legislative branches of hillary and nancy pelosi.
BTW, it was still SCOTUS that mandated Kelo, no matter your caterwalling.
