Governor Jeb Bush Has A Much More Serious “Eminent Domain” Problem Than Donald Trump….
The Conservative Tree House ^ | 2/8/2016 | Sundance

Posted on 02/15/2016 10:01:01 AM PST by GilGil

Former Governor Jeb Bush has a much more serious eminent domain problem to reconcile than current media reports are discussing.

During his tenure as Florida Governor Bush initiated the largest eminent domain private property confiscation in the history of the Sunshine State.

Bush’s action is now costing the State of Florida hundreds of millions in lawsuits and legal fees.

During a period from mid-2000 to January 2006 the Florida Department of Agriculture, at the direction of Governor Jeb Bush, began a program to seize and destroy citrus trees from Florida residents. Former Governor Jeb Bush has a much more serious eminent domain problem to reconcile than current media reports are discussing...

As voters in New Hampshire heard on Saturday night, Jeb Bush believes it a horrible thing to seize property from private citizens; yet history would reflect when Jeb Bush himself was governor of the state of Florida – not only did he order seizures, by force, but Bush also refused to reimburse the residents for the property he unlawfully ordered to be removed and destroyed.

And they thought we would not find out about this! The more the elite establishment fights, the higher Trump goes. They say the truth will set you free. In the GOP's case the truth will reduce them to ruble.

“They came with two sheriff’s deputies. They said if you don’t step aside we will handcuff you and take you to jail,”

Eventually the Florida State Supreme court ruled the entire process was unconstitutional government eminent domain overreach

And that should make every one of those employee’s and the deputies CRIMINALLY and Personally CIVILLY LIABLE for their blatant Illegal Criminal Actions.

Just following orders didn’t work in Nazi Germany and it should NEVER be Allowed here either.

It’s really great that we have people who are willing to actually research these things.

All the Bushes are liars.

I’m really hoping that 2016 will see the destruction of both the Bushes and Clintons. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Oh my. You know Jeb is going to start acting up and acting like a tough guy towards Trump in the next debate. So Trump’s gotta bring this up in the next debate or in the following debate that’s in Florida.

Our problem is Trump just hits one domain problem of Bush. He should hit Bush with this.

This eminent domain thing in Florida on Bush’ part will kill his election prospects. People I am sure have not forgotten. El Yebe is toast. How could he possibly think he would get away with this?

Trump is hitting Bush with all the eminent domain infractions of Bush. It is all over his social media today. Remember Trump has over 13 million on his social media between Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. With retweets he is probably reaching 30-40 million daily.

His social media is now growing by 1 million new subscribers per month. His message is more than getting out.

Based on this I am surprised Jeb hasn’t pulled the walker from his mom yet.

For Pete’s sake, this was to stop the spread of citrus canker, which could have devastated the orange production, and left the growers without any compensation.

It wasn’t using government power to support his private business by seizing land for the business, which is what Trump did. And the only reason he wasn’t able to get away with it was that he was stopped by the court after the old lady filed suit. He had a pretty cozy relationship with corrupt New Jersey government interests.

If Jeb! had an ounce of intelligence, he would have researched his own ED background before launching his attack on Trump. But, Jeb! doesn’t have that single ounce . . .
