It’s not supposed to work that way. Whatever authority is not specifically given to the government is prohibited to the government. At any rate, the Pensylvania constitution has a clause similar to the fifth amendment, and it hasn’t stopped the politicians from subsidizing sports arenas and using eminent domain to get the land for the arenas.
Do you favor such a use of government power?
I live in LA county where we don’t even have a NFL franchise.
Naw, I don’t care for government use of eminent domain to make stadiums. LA has an Olympic stadium, the Rose Bowl, and the stadium used by the former Irvin Raiders. I think it is bad policy. If it makes sense to build a stadium, the private sector can buy the land. In most cases it makes sense to lease an existing stadium such as that available at the numerous colleges. Heck, as a policy matter, I don’t think that government high schools, government/state colleges should have football teams. There goes Nebraska, Oklahoma, OSU, (Beat) Cal, Penn, etc. And imagine: I used to live in Sealy Tx!
In general, as a legal matter, State governments are not limited to enumerated powers, unless that unusual provision is in the state constitution, or there is a limitation to the state constitution such as that in Article 4 of the federal constitution, or federal Amendment 2 as applied to the states by the 14th Amendment.
