Shocking surprise from where? Are you completely ignorant of legal precedent? Courts have long since adjudicated eminent domain for redevelopment under the term ‘public interest’ and it’s settled law.

Those 'Courts' are WRONG !

Source:

James Madison, who wrote the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, had a more moderate view,
and struck a compromise that sought to at least protect property rights somewhat by explicitly mandating compensation and using the term "public use" rather than "public purpose," "public interest", or "public benefit".[5]
The Fifth Amendment imposes limitations on the exercise of eminent domain:
the taking must be for public use
and just compensation must be paid.

It sounds like you're happy about that. Trump seems to be.

Conservatives? Not so much.

How recently was the precedent set, do you know? I ask because it wasn’t that long ago that Walmart was slapped down when they were saying they needed certain property to be condemned for public good, bringing jobs was one thing.
