Need a little primer on Eminent Domain:
1. It is permitted by the US constitution but is limited to taking for a public purpose
2. What is at issue is the Kelo decision which allowed taking by the government and turning over to a private entity for a private purpose
3. Any one who is truly conservative believes that this is an absolutely horrid decision
4. Donald Trump does not, he likes the Kelo decision

I think the argument in Kelo was that economic redevelopment even when done privately had public benefits that met the requirement.

When your land is taken, that is a distinction without a difference. My grandfather’s large pasture was cut in half for a highway.
