This is completely fatuous. The issue is not the existence of eminent domain, it is the abuse of it. Like the Kelo decision.

Like other situation where one person’s private property is taken, not for a true “public use” but to benefit another private party who is more favored by the ruling gov’t officials.

FReepers used to be against Kelo-style abuse. Then Trump happened.

I don't understand it. Attacks on Trump's (or any politician) positions are legitimate points of discussion. I absolutely disagree with Trump's take on emminent domain. On the border wall? Not so much.

“FReepers used to be against Kelo-style abuse. Then Trump happened.”

Four conservative justices dissented, on Kelo.

Opposition to eminent domain for private purposes is the conservative position, period.
