More sundance .... yay!
Just Like his B-1 Visa’s Gezz we have a new Kerry
More Crus bashing BS, you are correct!
We will need to use it to build the Wall!
Do you understand the difference between eminent domain for a public purpose such as building a highway the public drives on vs. eminent domain for a private purpose such as enabling a developer to build a casino for his personal benefit?
More crap from the Outhouse.
PS---IF elected he has ZERO intention of building a wall or sealing the border. He is totally owned by the no-borders, globalist crony corps and NGOs.
Teddy, Teddy, Teddy. :-)
*Cruz, darn iPhone.
Will they vote for him when he’s the nominee or sulk and stay home (or vote for the Bern?) I wonder?
One of the best posts of the night ...according to Trump haters , Trump is good at it ...
Eminent domain is constitutionally provided for for the public interest. If you’re building a road or a school or a public hospital, you can use eminent domain for that — as long as the person whose property is taken is given “fair” compensation.
What Trump — and no one else — has advocated is the use of eminent domain for the benefit of private interests such as himself. he used it in Atlantic City for his casinos. He supports Kelo v. City of New London, which allows this abuse. (No other candidate does.)
How can something that will employ thousands, and be a host to millions per hear, be considered to only be for personal use?
Come on folks, this benefits many people, not just Trump.
I haven’t see this Cruz video yet, but on the merits Trump isn’t doing anything that baseball, football, and soccer stadiums don’t do.
Cruz promises to build the wal and you claim “he has ZERO intention of building a wall or sealing the border.”
Trump promises to build the wall and that means he’s absolutely going to do it.
Do you know how ridiculous you sound when you say things like that?
Or a Baseball Stadium!!! Only the most evil person would use eminent domain to build at private Baseball Stadium.
More sundance .... yay!
Almost as good as more anonymous, money laundered donations to the Principled Conservative (TM) Ted Cruz campaign. Dontcha think?
It’s still private benefit. It’s not “public interest.”
And we shouldn’t be doing it for stadiums either. Let the team-owning billionaires build their own stadia.
When a corporation builds a casino, they are doing so for the private benefit of their shareholders. No matter how big the corporation is, the casino still only benefits their shareholders. That’s why the Kelo decision is so wrongheaded. Politically connected developers get to use the heavy hand of eminent domain for their own private benefit. And it’s wrong when football and baseball owners get the benefit of it and it’s wrong when Trump gets the benefit of it.
