As described in that very article, the battle over trying to take her home away from her so he could build a limousine parking lot only involved him and the government agency he pressured to take it from her and he got stopped in his tracks by a judge. here’s a video report on the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmM4ZBoppNQ&list=PLJcbhHQDR9da0H3-Qs-7WEEj6tam9vlh3&index=4
I am very familiar with the events when they happened. I’ve been to AC to see her home.
Very busy yesterday. I intended to stay awake for the evening but that big Ole stuffed chair grabbed me and I just floated away. Guess I’ll have to catch the video tape.
Given, however, he says that he wants more Thomases that might be difficult. He will be forced to choose. I am sure he likes the idea of Kelo, but on the other hand the results we have seen have been waste. Stacked up with other considerations, Kelo might yield (given, however, that it is unlikely a future USSC will reverse it without an additional reason — reversals tend to be based on other arguments, not the same arguments).
I’m not terribly exercised about principle on real estate because it ends up being owned by Caesar in the end anyhow. Fairness of compensation including the bother and cost of moving should definitely be part of the picture. And that is where Trump made a handsome offer. She might have taken it too if it hadn’t been for her son playing the offer.
Show a textual source that records Trump “pressuring” any agency. You can argue they got lured by the prospect of Trump’s development, but not that they were “pressured.”
I have given up on the concept of Conservatism.
Conservatism in and of itself really has no ideology of philosophy behind it, it just boils down to being Anti whatever.
The so called Republican Conservatives have done nothing but lie to us, especially since 2010 when we the voters went all out to elect those who said they were going to stop Obama and do something about Obamacare.
In addition the Republicans never offered in plan to replace Obamacare with, nothing. At least in 1994 Newt Gingrich came up with The Contract with America and actually tried to get that done.
So Trump is neither a Conservative nor really a Liberal, he is running ,not tied to any Ideology or Philosophy, just practical problem solving.
By the way Reagan ran like that, he wasn’t nearly as Conservative as the Myth of Him as portrayed him.
