"Protecting private homes would be a fine cause for the current US President to take up in vetoing this decision of the Supreme Court." You will have to explain how the President could 'veto' a ruling not involving him or the U.S. Justice Department directly.

-- if the President overrules Supreme Court decisions by ordering the Executive Branch to not enforce them, the Supreme Court's power would be broken: they have no officers.

Both Congress & the Executive are sworn to obey the Constitution.
--
Either branch could issue a 'finding' that public takings for private gain are against basic Constitutional principles that protect individual human rights.

They could then urge/authorize the Justice Dept make available public defenders to citizens facing such infringements by state or local authorities misusing their power.
