The title is very misleading because the governments right to eminent domain is not in question, it's the law. This article was designed to be one of those gotcha articles, but it completely misses the point. Furthermore, it's only cuts, which we know can be taken out of context if the whole discussion is not considered. Moreover, Cruz does not support the abuse of eminent domain. That means he wouldn't support the taken of property for casinos, parking lots, and ball parks. As he said, the border fence is an issue of national security, so of course he would support eminent domain to build the border fence. I'm staunchly opposed to the abuse of eminent domain as every American should be, but unfortunately it is necessary is some instances. I'd say the security of our nation from invasion is one of those instances.
