If Kelo is as bad as it gets, then my point has been made. There isn’t widespread abuse of the public use limitation.

You can make whatever point you want, but your argument is at odds with the objective facts as I've demonstrated with IJ literature. Your claim to "follow this stuff pretty closely" seems erroneous since you've contradicted yourself several times on whether the case was decided correctly or incorrectly, and you're oblivious to the ongoing eminent domain abuses widely documented over the years:

Don’t blight the hand that feeds you: Stop eminent domain abuse

This man won't let New Jersey take his home (A current case in Trump's backyard)

And to top it off you claimed that because I posted too much information about too many cases, it was too general, and I therefore needed a specific example to rally behind, obviously trying to bait me so you could offer a "but that's just one case" retort.

Nice try.

It would be an altogether different case if Trump had actually changed his position and started criticizing Kelo and eminent domain abuse by developers, and you were trying to justify his flip-flop as a move towards the pro-liberty side. But you're asking intelligent, high information Freepers to buy into Trump's fact-free, childish, nonsensical, and fantastical assertion to Bret Baier that eminent domain abuse by private developers is some sort of financial windfall or lottery for condemned homeowners.

And even more worrisome, we have so-called conservatives like you now DEFENDING KELO, an unthinkable proposition pre-Trump on any conservative site, all to service your adoration for his cult of personality.
