re: #26 unproven innocence

Interesting why eminent domain has even come up in this campaign in first place. Trump benefits from it as a developer if a municipality decides that redevelopment furthers economic development (all part of the Kelo calculus).

Cruz thinks that this is a winning attack? Kelo was a poor decision, but the ultimate benefit is corporations that want to squeeze out other businesses under the rubric of economic development. Corporations that can get governments to do their bidding.

And Cruz claims that he’s for businesses? His tax policies favor the big businesses that see the biggest benefits from eminent domain.

There’s no consistency here.

But Cruz or Trump as president would mean a potentially drastic change to the Supreme Court (and lower courts) - and not in a good way.
