This is actually how GWB made his fortune -- the Rangers got a valuable new ballpark through city eminent domain powers, allowing GWB to get a nearly 20x return on his original investment in less than 10 years. So don't look for him to lead the charge on this issue.

I won't.

But I didn't really expect him to.

Unfortunately, there are too many Republicans who will also shy away from leading the charge simply bacause it opens them to criticism for members of their party such as GWB and probably many others who also profited.

Go along to get along.
