What Trump tried to do would have been better for the community and less intrusive than a vanity project that will generate no tax revenue and gobbles up acres. Trump went an 18 room crack house/prostitute den that is euphemistically called a "boarding house" in the press. It predated the Kelo decision. If the Republicans are so upset about Kelo where has the constitutional amendment draft been to overturn it?
The Bush library eminent domain deal was also a way to get rid of the “undesirable” kids living in the condos who were attending the nationally recognized Highland Park schools.
It still was not a "public use" project, which is what the Constitution requires for eminent domain.
If the Republicans are so upset about Kelo where has the constitutional amendment draft been to overturn it?
A number of GOP controlled states have passed statutes to limit the effect of Kelo in their states. And there have been several bills introduced into Congress to overturn Kelo, but they have all been killed by Reid and the Dems in the Senate.
