The Keystone Pipeline may be private, but it has implications that are public. A private parking lot for limos at his casina is not a public interest at all.

Ah, but it could be in the tax revenues that are generated by the Casino to the local government. If the ease of parking limos brings in more limos (high rollers) and they drop more coins in the machines, then more money for the local government. Remember, the governmental entity went to bat for Trump in taking this to court, etc...

I do not agree with Kelo. I disagree with Trump in his position regarding eminent domain for private use. But it is done...Car lots bring in more money than single family homes for example.

A president has little affect on local eminent domain issues.

But Trump sticks with his position..his position on this issue is not a deal breaker for me.

That was Justice Kennedy's point in Kelo, so apparently you actually agree.

Atlantic City disagrees with you.

A judge disagreed with Atlantic City.

And so it goes.

It is called the legal system...

I don’t believe the issue was a deal breaker, but Trump’s liberal leanings does not make a conservative president. For me, they have added up to tip the scale away from Trump.
