There is no difference whatsoever. You can’t approve of it if it’s private, and the pipeline builder is a private enterprise.

A power plant, pipeline, road, hospitals, schools, etc. are for infrastructure and for public good / use / needs and will likely all be built by private entities. They are not comparable to a casino limousine parking lot - that does not fulfill a vital public need as those other issues and are completely different issues, and it is not defensible conduct on the part of Trump, nor is his strong support for Kelo v. New London CT defensible. I don't recall anyone, including you, supporting that outrageous SCOTUS decision at the time on this forum...it's disappointing you don't think it is a matter of importance now and even defend it and similar actions by Trump.

Republican Wildcat does not get to determine what is for the public good. That’s why we elected Representatives. They decide what is for the public good.

Private entities that win a contract, use eminent domain to complete their project.

Do you think Dodger stadium was built as a government project?

I can guarantee you eminent domain was used.

Should that stadium have been blocked from being built, or are you going to refer to that as a government project too?

Sadly, it's all moot now. The land in dispute lies fallow and undeveloped ....and Pifzer is moving to Ireland. No one won. Lives ruined.
