nor do they ever say they made an honest mistake. Rather then admit they were wrong, liberals spend the rest of their lives claiming “I was robbed.” Everything liberals believe is best for everyone and that is an end to it.

Retired Justice Stevens will never say he was wrong; he will go to his grave claiming his decision was justified:
Parenthetically, Baby Ruth agrees with South Africa. It is safe to say she agrees with South Africa’s ‘improvement’ on our own Takings Clause:

Legal, or illegal, abortion will automatically be decided by the states when Roe v. Wade is overturned on the federal level, while eminent domain requires a constitutional amendment to protect property Rights:
The federal government and the states determine just compensation. That has to be precisely defined. The U.S. was an agrarian society when the original Bill of Rights was ratified. Today, there are tens of million homeowners who need protection from eminent domain abuses no less than did farmers of olde.
President Trump invoking eminent domain for national security is one of a very few authentic purposes for taking private property. In any event taking relatively worthless narrow strips of land to secure the border can hardly be compared to the government confiscating valuable land in order to profit corporations traded on Wall Street.
Conversely, Donald Trump once said he was comfortable with expanding eminent domain for economic reasons in cases like Kelo v. The City of New London. No surprise there coming from a real estate developer.
Trump surely knew that his interpretation of eminent domain is always aimed specifically at individual property owners; never at the corporations he admires so much. If you listen to wheeler-dealers like Trump talking you will end up believing there is something public-spirited about being forced to sell your property. That is called half-assed laissez faire economics.
Trump does not know that most Americans believe that the conventional application of eminent domain should be confined to specific projects. Basically, infrastructure like roads, military bases, tunnels, and so on —— Takings that every American benefits from.
Unless Trump mends has ways before 2020 I suspect he will lose the vote of every homeowner that heard him say he believes that eminent domain should be used to enrich corporations traded on Wall Street under the pretext of economic common good.
At the risk of giving Democrats sound advice I suggest they should ask the Realtor how in hell is a corporation manipulating the power of government to take private property away from individuals any different than the government further enriching wealthy parasites with income tax dollars?
NOTE: Conservatives did not vote for John “Amnesty for Illegals” McCain or Mitt “Kennedycare” Romney. They will not vote for eminent domain abuses in 2020.
Eminent disaster
Homeowners in Connecticut town were dispossessed for nothing

There have been numerous abuses of eminent domain. After Kelo v. City of New London a few states did pass some laws that shielded private ownership from eminent domain abuses.
Eminent domain has been a smoldering issue for a long time. The problem is that each abuse is local; so the national media did not report eminent domain cases until 60 Minutes did a good segment a few years ago. The Supreme Court wrongly deciding Kelo is probably the only reason a lot of homeowners are now aware of eminent domain abuses.
Port Chicago, California in the early 1960s was possibly the worst eminent domain abuse in modern times. In that land grab the government took an entire town under the pretext of enlarging the Navy Base. The government took —— then turned around and sold the land to developers.
Attorney Melvin Belli (1907 - 1996), was famous for raising the Jolly Roger over his office building in San Francisco when he won a case. He lost the case for the people of Port Chicago who were ripped off. The Port Chicago case never got to the US Supreme Court because the infamous Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals refused to hear the appeal.
Just a reminder that then-swing-vote Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy voted against private sector property owners. I think if you do a head count you will find that most Supreme Court justices come down on the side of confiscation for any reason. The late Justice Scalia was one of the good guys:
Possession may very well be 9/10[SUP]ths[/SUP] of the law, but Kelo showed that government parasites get 9/10[SUP]ths[/SUP] while private sector property owners get zero percent.
Throw in EPA regulations and all private property Rights belong to the government along with owning all real property.

Eminent domain is pocked marked with wrong decisions handed down by wrong justices:
Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005) was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States involving the use of eminent domain to transfer land from one private owner to another private owner to further economic development. In a 5–4 decision, the Court held that the general benefits a community enjoyed from economic growth qualified private redevelopment plans as a permissible "public use" under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment.
The case arose in the context of condemnation by the city of New London, Connecticut, of privately owned real property, so that it could be used as part of a “comprehensive redevelopment plan.” However, the private developer was unable to obtain financing and abandoned the redevelopment project, leaving the land as an undeveloped empty lot.

Retired Justice Stevens will never say he was wrong; he will go to his grave claiming his decision was justified:
John Paul Stevens has had it rough. In 2005, Stevens, then an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, authored one of the worst SCOTUS decisions of the past 50 years. Kelo v. City of New London let a local government bulldoze a working-class neighborhood so that private developers would have a blank slate on which to build a luxury hotel, a conference center, and various other upscale amenities. The city's goal was to erase that existing community via eminent domain and replace it with a new commercial district that would (maybe? hopefully?) fill the local coffers with more abundant tax dollars.
Stevens, the poor soul, has been catching hell for this lousy ruling ever since. Kelo is "the most un-American thing that can be done," declared Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California, an outspoken liberal. Her ideological opposite, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, has said that Kelo "bastardized" the Constitution. "Government can kick the little guy out of his or her homes and sell those [homes] to a big developer," Limbaugh objected. Hating Kelo would seem to be the one thing that can bring a divided America together.

Parenthetically, Baby Ruth agrees with South Africa. It is safe to say she agrees with South Africa’s ‘improvement’ on our own Takings Clause:
It comes as the South African government pushes ahead with plans to amend the country’s constitution to allow for the expropriation of land without compensation.
The seizures are intended to test the ability of the government to take land under existing laws, which the ruling African National Congress has previously stated is allowable if “in the public interest”.

Bottom line: The federal government can take private property so long as they pay fair market prices. The State of Connecticut did it to enrich private developers in Kelo v. New London.
Legal, or illegal, abortion will automatically be decided by the states when Roe v. Wade is overturned on the federal level, while eminent domain requires a constitutional amendment to protect property Rights:
FIFTH AMENDMENT
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
The federal government and the states determine just compensation. That has to be precisely defined. The U.S. was an agrarian society when the original Bill of Rights was ratified. Today, there are tens of million homeowners who need protection from eminent domain abuses no less than did farmers of olde.

The court’s 5-4 holding in Kelo v. City of New London gave local officials a green light to seize and demolish private homes through eminent domain, then turn the land over to developers itching to build something more lucrative. In Fort Trumbull, those private homeowners included people such as Susette Kelo, a local nurse who bought her little Victorian cottage on the Thames River because she loved its waterfront view; Wilhelmina Dery, who was born in her house on Walbach Street in 1918 and had been living there all her life; and Pasquale and Margherita Cristofaro, whose home on Goshen Street was the second New London property they lost to eminent domain, the first having been taken 30 years earlier because the city intended to construct a seawall. (The seawall was never built.)
