“without just compensation”

According to Kelo and other decisions confiscation via eminent domain can be for public benefit instead of the required public use. How hard would it be to define “just” as “whatever we feel like”?

Hard to define an amount of money as being worth something other than that amount of money, but the socialists would try. Or just tax it 100 percent if you don’t hand it over to the government. This is what makes Roberts’ decision so insidious; through a tax, you can violate all the other parts of the constitution. It is the end of the Republic and our rights as citizens, as a legal matter, unless a later court repudiates it.
