Thanks for the post! I don't think the framers of the constitution would have even thought that government would be taking private property for the purpose of turning that property over to another private entity. The only "public purposes" the framers would have had in mind were roads, public buildings, military outposts, etc.

Yea, but isn't the Constitution a living and breathing document that changes with the times? /sarcasm
