[Conscience of a Conservative]

Yes it does...but Trump can’t do that can he? He’s a business man so he’s going to use it, the same as the Federal Government does, the same as the State Government does; the same as the City Government does, so if it needs to be ‘reformed’ WE need to go to our House Representatives, who make the laws of America ( or used to ) and have them change it!

You just don't get it, do you. The Constitution says that eminent domain may only be used for a PUBLIC use. So, when the Federal Government, or State Government, or City Government uses it, that is a Constitutional use of the power.

When, however, Donald Trump uses it--for instance, to force someone out of their house so he can expand his parking lot--that is a PRIVATE use, and is thus unconstitutional.

And Trump supports that. Because he doesn't want to be constrained by the Constitution. But that's fine with some of you, I guess...

Donald Trump, a private citizen, could not seize anyone’s property. The government was the entity who invoked eminent domain, not Donald Trump. The Your outrage should be directed at the people actually responsible; the people who said yes instead of no.
