You say equivocation, I say truth.

The Fifth Amendment - U.S. Constitution

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

This is where the concept of emminent domain comes from, it has been distorted and missused.

Does an attempt to take a house to build a parking lot for a private business fall under this clause - It shouldn't, that isn't what this ammendment was designed for.

Does building roads, railroads, powerlines, ditches and pipelines fall under this provision? I believe it does. If it didn't it would not be possible for any of those things to be built.
