Donald Trump Loves Eminent Domain Laws. Will TeaBirchers Denounce Him?
enlargeI wonder how long it will be before the Institute for Justice purges this from their site:

Vera Coking, an elderly widow from Atlantic City, knows firsthand the power of unaccountable government agencies. The Institute for Justice successfully defended Vera against the condemnation of her home by a State agency that sought to take her property and transfer it—at a bargain-basement price—to another private individual: Donald Trump. Trump convinced the State agency to use its “eminent domain” power to take Vera’s home so he could construct a limousine parking lot for his customers—hardly a public purpose. And unfortunately, cases in which government agencies act not as protectors of constitutionally guaranteed rights, but instead as agents for powerful, private interests, have become all too common.

The Institute for Justice is funded heavily by the cabal of right-wing foundations like Koch, Bradley, Roe and others. It bills itself as the only true "libertarian law firm" and fights for the rights of any one finding themselves on the wrong end of a government action.

It is, simply put, aligned with the same faux populi who are now being wooed by Trump in his fake bid for the Presidency (which he will not actually ever undertake).

1. Mrs. Coking won that challenge against Trump. Did he have to pay her attorneys fees?

2. You're asking if teabaggers will suddenly start voting for their own interests?
They've been supporting politicians and policies that go against their own interests for years, why should they change now?

3. Teabaggers LOVE their eminent domain profiteers...Bushes, Kochs, Trump, et al.
They are as hypocritical as they come. Or, downright too stupid to realize they are acting as the front line of defense for the NWO they claim to fear.
