Trump CAN'T justify a taking for private use - it is absolutely unconstitutional.

Not anymore -- isn't that why there is so much fear -- because of Kelo?

People continuously confuse eminent domain with random takings or condemnation. It's not that. The one house he had a lawsuit over 35 YEARS ago was a crank woman who tried to game him for millions and when he wouldn't pay an unreasonable amount, he built the parking garage around her house and her property looked ridiculous and lost value, but it was her own fault for not giving her neighbors a break and allowing adequate parking to be built. Trump wasn't doing this out of nowhere -- he was the hired builder fof a project that the Atlantic City council, the State of New Jersey and the gaming commission wanted to have built to create a year-round income stream for a dying city that lay dormant for 6 months of the year as a summer resort only. He lent his brand and did the construction, but there were many, many other players in the scenario, including the investment banks. And the lady's house did not get taken ultimately. It is a red herring from decades ago.

Kelo is an UNCONSTITUTIONAL decision. SCOTUS is NOT above the Constitution per the Supremacy Clause. The Constitution is the Ruler of SCOTUS and the federal government.
