If the GOP-e’s Club for Growth and David McIntosh don’t like the `public takings’ clause, they should work to get the 5th amendment repealed.
Instead they’ll mau mau Trump, as instructed.

No not at all.

The Takings Clause as written is fine.

What isn't fine is the unconstitutional taking of private property for private use.

Eminent domain was supposed to be used to take land for public use - roadways, libraries, railroad right-of-ways, etc. Using eminent domain to transfer private property to a developer is an abuse of the concept. Anyone supporting that cannot truly call themselves a constitutional conservative. We already knew that about Trump, and I guess we now know that about you as well...
