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?

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.

Or a Baseball Stadium!!! Only the most evil person would use eminent domain to build at private Baseball Stadium.

Eminent Domain is a necessary evil.

The Kelo decision is simply evil.

To the person being displaced, the difference doesn't matter.

GM got Michigan to go along with this, and took out Poletown. THAT was a big deal. Bigger than Kelo.

At any rate, Trump couldn't get his way either by cash offer or with assistance from the government. Anybody running a business would try the same thing, as Bush advocated to build the stadium for the Rangers.

No they don’t understand. I am astonished at the ignorance of the most common and constitutional laws these noobs exhibit. It really reminds me of how the Obamabots were subservient to the anointed one regardless.
