I think for your debate to improve in quality, it should be noted there are different reasons here for claiming emminent domain for personal property:

1) limousine parking lot for a privately-owned hotel

2) 3,000 mile pipeline

You are right. The point I was trying to make there is a natural friction between government, business/industrial and residential property rights. The government should never have the power to take land rights away from its citizens. The friction between industrial, commercial and residential citizens is a more complex debate.

You would think that would be a good argument, and I would have gladly made that point.

However on this very thread we've seen a Trump supporter impugn Ms. Coking and call her a "blackmailer", so some Trump supporters seem to be adopting the Clinton strategy of attacking anyone who questions the past motives, policies, and actions of their chosen candidate. They might as well have said "Drag a dollar bill through Atlantic City and you're bound to find an old widow blackmailing Trump", even though she didn't want to sell and was in no conceivable position to "blackmail" anyone.

The poster also called me an 'idiot' for saying that Trump should be ashamed of his actions, so taking all of that into account, going directly back to the 5th Amendment seems to be the only way to prove the point.
