We need to push Republicans in Congress to try to establish a Constitional Amendment which will effectively overturn the ruling yesterday.

You mean like: "nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.", as we already have in the fifth amendment?

It does little good to amend the Constitution, when we have justices who pay no attention to the Constitution.

But don't you see: they are taking private property for private use so there is not need to provide compensation. Such clever justices we have who are able to read the Constitution with such clarity and imagination.

I was hoping we'd see a push by Republicans to amend the amendment to include "no taking for economic development".

Yup. In practice, government is what we allow it to be. A great document like the US Constitution is little defense against a relativistic culture.
