Senate Candidate Ted Cruz was for it, before he was against it.

"...the ancient history of a failed grifter in the Atlantic City case raises the important politically motivated point that there are almost always occasionally different places that a parking lot or a building can be built...but a pipeline...is almost certainly going to require multiple applications of eminent domain, so we can break the stranglehold of Middle Eastern oil over our nation and stop sending our soldiers to be killed in a war for oil.

There. Fixed it.

"We are able to do that [cross state lines] with car insurance."

That's not exactly true. I own two cars in two different states. I'm not allowed to have them insured together. One contributing factor is the possibility that the rates are different in the two locations. This gives the insurance company the incentive to make sure I'm paying the proper rate for the location of the car. The other, though, are the state requirements. I'm required by each state to license the car in the state it is located. I'm then required by each state to insure the car in the state for which it has plates.

It is, but a key part of it is “for public use.” There is no mention of taking it for private use.

I understand Trump’s attractiveness as a candidate to those of us who are mad as hell and we aren’t going to take it anymore. He’s taken on the political establishment and crashed barriers that they have erected to keep interlopers out.

What I find disturbing, but no longer shocking, is the willingness of people on a conservative blog to defend Trump’s unconservative positions and actions.

On eminent domain, he attempted to use it, and was defeated. We have had four local attempts at eminent domain, and fought off two of them, and failed in the other two. It is my opinion that eminent domain is to be used only when there is a compelling public purpose.

Two local cases, (York, PA) involved attempts to use eminent domain to expand the hospital and the local college into a historical neighborhood, in which some pretty affluent people lived, although not as affluent as the old money interests pushing for the eminent domain.
The neighborhood has a well organized neighborhood association that successfully fought off the seizure of their neighborhood.

The next one involved the construction of a baseball stadium. After several attempts they finally decided on a location, where there were homes and busnesses. we successfully stopped the local governments from funding or guaranteeing the project, but the state agreed to fund half of the cost. One of the businesses had been persuaded to locate there by the city, and then found the city attempting, successfully, to take its property for the stadium, not a compelling public purpose.

Then there was High Point, an issue that cost two county commissioners their jobs because of the voters’ commitment to justice.

High Point was a part of the bankrupt Lauxmont Farms, and a developer purchased it from the bankrupt estate because it has the best views of the Susquehanna River in the county. he jumped through the township hoops got permission, and was ready to build homes for sale. A local organization supposed dedicated to agricultural preservation talked two of the three county commissioners into taking the land using eminent domain to create another county park that nobody ever uses.

The developer sued and won a huge settlement, paid for by the taxpayers of the county.

I may vote for Trump, if he is the GOP candidate, but I will never defend the use of eminent domain where there is no compelling public purpose.

General Francisco Franco is still dead, and so is Scott Walker's campaign.

Sorry for your loss.

Whatever. Make yourself useful and “like” Jeb Bush, just for maybe an hour or two, maybe you can force that moron out of the race.
