Thanks for the link. Troubling indeed.

El Jebbo's response was on the mark but I'm not convinced he would be any better on such issues if he was President which, thankfully, it looks like he won't be.

'Course, I think I may have said the same thing about Bathhouse Barry at one time.

Eminent Domain abuse has been around a long time. The first time I ever even heard the phrase was in the late 70s (maybe early 80s) when I lived in Tacoma, WA, and poor people were being evicted from their homes to make space for this monstrosity that came to be known as The TacomaDome.

And, then, the taxpayers were bilked out of something like 175,000 dollars for this hideous neon artwork which was hung (hanged?) inside.

Property rights are extremely important to me and like any power enumerated in the Constitution, the government should be limited and these amendments by judicial fiat erode and undermine those limitations leaving citizens with no recourse and the well connected like Trump can fancy a parking lot for limousines. To me, he has demonstrated perfectly the establishment mentality and I was insulted when he said that it was just that no one bothered to explain Kelo to conservatives as if we’re clueless about the decision.
