The Supreme Court voted for this kind of personal property grab by the government. It's called Kelo vs. New London. In effect, there really is no right to personal property anymore. Imho, one of the worst SC decisions ever.

The Supreme Court decision basically gives corrupt local and federal government officials carte blanche to steal. Government power on steroids.

Kelo is not the decision that would be used to enforce this taking. It does not conform closely enough. Actually if i were the landowners lawyer I would hope for the Feds to try and use Kelo - you could knock that down in the first rounds of motions.
