Eminent domain should never be used for anything other than public infrastructure and then its one time I think government should pay at least a few percent above assessed value.

Agree. But as we know, that wasn't the case in Kelo. It was taken from a private owner and went to Pfizer, private enterprize. Apparently sets well with some.

The larger point in this story is that Trump agreed with that decision and would seek to trample the rights of an elderly widow to build his parking lot for his mammoth casino in AC. Fortunately, dirtbag Trump lost in court and the widow continued to enjoy her home. Now said dirtbag wants to be president? He'll never get my vote.

But we know Kelo wasn't for that. It was for Pfizer, private enterprize.
