>>NO ONE seems to mind the use of Imminent Domain when they drive down the Interstate.

There a different types of Eminent Domain.

Using eminent domain for a purely public use, such as building a highway, is not controversial.

At issue is the use of eminent domain to transfer property from one citizen to another, under the rubric of “redevelopment”. Although the SCOTUS upheld this in Kelo v. New London, I believe it is a tyrannical power that should be ended, by constitutional amendment if necessary.

I do not think less of Trump for attempting to use it. The problem is that the government has been ceded this power to begin with.

This is a non-story.

So far, all the negative stories about Trump have been the same.
