Congress is the will of the people -- for better or worse.

And if the people tomorrow decided to take your home without compensation, and Congress passed a law allowing it, then I guess that would be OK with you, since Congress was just reflecting the will of the people.

And if the people tomorrow decided to take your home without compensation,

That's explictly prohibited by the Constitution. You'll have to come up with a better example.

The problem is that 2/3 of congress and 3/4 of the states can take anything they want from you. Can kick out every part of the bill of rights if they want to. I think sometimes we forget that. That individual rights do have a limit, even in our constitution.

And if the people tomorrow decided to take your home without compensation,

Oh, and the courts can do that much more easily and with much less notice.
