"The US Supreme Court decision is bad for the security of private citizens in their homes and good for real estate developers. Since it is now the law of the land in the US, until it is changed, obviously everyone who is in that industry will exploit it. Myself included."

Then you're no better than some Communist regime taking homes from people for development purposes.

This law won't last long. There will be a constitutional amendment and it'll pass like flying colors.

So, are WalMart, Vornado, GE Capital, JP Morgan and Costco, these huge capitalist entreprises, Communist regimes? They are the ones who benefit most from this sort of eminent domain takings.

You predict a constitutional amendment.
How long do you predict that will be.
I predict there will be no constitutional amendment, that the US Congress will handily reject any effort to make one, and that the Supreme Court's decision will remain the law of the United States.
I think the law will remain as it is because it powerfully benefits the most powerful money interests in both US political parties.
For the same reason, I predict that the US border with Mexico will not ever be closed.

There probably won't be an ammendment. Ammendments take many years to work their way throught he process. Each of the individual states, and local governments has the ability to prevent this as well.

Besides, the constitution, as written, already prohibits this. In any event there will be a change in the SCOTUS in the near future that will right this.
