I challenge you to show me where in my post I said Trump took the property.

He SUPPORTED government doing it and still does for reasons unrelated to the intent of the framers. And it just so happens that the kind of business that benefits is HIS KIND.

The federal power of eminent domain resides in, and is limited by, the Necessary and Proper Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 18).

By Trump’s lights, taking a property for casino and commercial purposes are part of what is “necessary and proper”, in OPPOSITION to Scalia and Thomas.

And it is suspicious that his business happens to be what is being disputed here.

This simply shows to what extent he views the limits of government .... which tells me in this case — VERY LITTLE.
