..Even conservatives support eminent domain for legitimate public purposes. But that does not include expansion of private business...

The failed Keystone Pipeline that Cruz supported required eminent domain to acquire right of way for it.

The pipeline exclusively expanded private business.
It would have moved oil sent by a Canadian cororation through a corporate owned Pipeline to a corporate owned depot to be put on corporate owned tankers to be sent to corporations in Asia to be refined by corporations to be sold there. Not a drop of that oil would remain in the USA.
Absolutely no USA public purpose.

Supporting the pipeline does not mean supporting ED abuse.

I'm sure the Railroad Tracks that Obama’s buddy uses for his Rail Tanker Cars to ship Oil from Canada today were built using Eminent Domain.

Unless those are Amtrak Tanker Cars, a Private Entity benefited from Eminent Domain.

Does the Government use Eminent Domain to take vast swathes of Land from the States to create Federal Lands like Clinton did in Utah to stop Coal Mining?

This will not be a defining issue for the 2016 Presidential Race IMHO, but you all can just knock yourselves out.
