What good would it be for State Legislatures to outlaw taking land from Private owners when rich people wishing to buy it would take the ruling to the Federal Supreme Court and have it banished , just like they did when they allowed this to begin with.

Will "rich" developers who happen to be REPUBLICAN go on NOW and call 2nd Amendment supporters " Gun Nuts " like the left does now??
