Why would you think democrats would support this? Taking houses away from the poor to give to Wal-Mart corp??? That sounds like it has a "compassionate conservative" slant to it. I only "kinda" support it if there's significant public amenities in the form of parks, schools, recreation, roadways etc. to be gained from it.
Their liberal judges ruled this way.
Plus things I have heard over at the DUmp including
1. It will generate more taxes to help the poor
2. Private property is anti-democratic anyway
Local governments have always been able to use eminent domain for roads, and schools, and such those are public uses. Today the line between public use and private use was obliterated leaving government with no restraints. Nothing worse than an unrestrained government.
Great screen name, by the way.
Because rare is the liberty Dimocrats don't want abrogated in the name of "safety," and few and far between are the personal freedoms they don't want to see curtailed "fuuurrr theee chiiiiiiildrennnn" (as long as those children have been born, that is: they're all for aborting as many kids as possible while they're still in their mother's womb).
The Dimocrat Party is, in sum and substance, the Anti-Freedom Party, period.
