“The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution says ‘nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.’ This is a tacit recognition of a preexisting power to take private property for public use, rather than a grant of new power.” Eminent domain “appertains to every independent government. It requires no constitutional recognition; it is an attribute of sovereignty.”

Abuse of eminent domain, such as the Kelo Decisions, should always be fought.
No it's not...Not in my opinion. To think this runs contrary to private property rights.
To approve of this, you have to contort yourself into the uncomfortable position of claiming that Government actually owns/controls completely all private property under it's jurisdiction and that these private owners really only have secondary ownership rights.
