"The ad is very misleading. In fact, it outright lies about a widow's home being bulldozed," Pierson tells Breitbart News in an exclusive interview. "When you look at the facts, there is a process in place for eminent domain which was followed in this instance. Ms. Coking ended up keeping her property for years, because Mr. Trump didn't purchase it, and it ended up saving him a fortune," Pierson adds. In 2014, 16 years after the court battle ended and several years after Coking moved to California, her grandson sold the house at auction for $530,000, far less than Trump was willing to pay her in the 1990s.

Is that justification for Ted to lie in a tweet?

Good Summary of Eminent Domain: Balancing individual rights and freedoms against the public interest always is. In America we side with the rights of the individual more than in any other Nation but there are exceptions. I think there is a need for eminent domain but wish the uses could be clearcut and in areas where it is unavoidable. Atlantic City was a terrible slum with no jobs. The city decided to pursue a plan to revitalize the center as have many other cities. Hard to do that without Eminent Domain.

Thanks. I missed that important deficit in the Faux Swearing in Ceremony.
No Bible in that swearing-in ceremony. I guess Beck really is serious about the Marxist atheist thing.
Does that mean that Heaven Forbid, our new Faux President sworn in by Beck is no longer a Christian!?

Actually isn’t the opposite the truth? A womans husand died of cancer and she was going to lose the home and Trump paid her mortgage?

Hey, I agree with you! Did you NOT read ALL the words I typed before, “But it’s life”? Eminent domain sucks. I’d be enormously pissed if government wanted to take our family’s land acquired in the 1700s.
We have Obamacare. Schools are liberal. White males are discriminated against. Going through airport security is a pain in the ass. It’s horrible... BUT IT’S LIFE.
OK... Now go back and read ALL the words.

"Mrs. Coking is an amazing lady, a wonderful lady. We got along famously. I can't tell you the number of times she invited me over for dinner. Just because we couldn't agree on a little patch of land doesn't mean we couldn't still be friends. I was invited to her son's wedding. She asked me if I'd be her grandson's godfather. Of course, I accepted because she's a truly amazing lady. There is no ill will between us."

I am told Obama’s CIA Czar Brennan converted to Islam while in Saudi Arabia and he took the oath for his CIA job with hand on the constitution -not the bible. I recall a few Muslim students and a couple gas station/convenient store owners who were Muslim prior to Obama. However, it was nothing like we see now with a room in schools for them to pray, etc. I want our country back.

So you put schools, hospitals and highways in the same category as casino parking lots?

I did not say the property was foreclosed. Someone else mentioned a government can foreclose on private property.
To: JayGalt
Constitutionally, eminent domain is to convert private property for government use, ONLY. The free market can decide the best use of property. It always does.

The Kelo decision was terrible.

Words have meanings, and the wrong word even if unintentional can have major impacts in the interpretation or laws.
New of a lawsuit with over $250,000 at stake. The winning party prevailed over the unintentional omission of a mere comma.
