(Wonder how that would apply if a Federal agency tried to take property using eminent domain?)

I don't know. Interesting question.

My state already has limits on eminent domain takings. It's being suggested that developers will be targeting the legislatures to relax restrictions, in order to take advantage of the SCOTUS ruling. However, ultimately it's in the hands of the voters. If your state reps or city council are on the payroll of developers, vote the b*stards out!

The same applies to Michigan. Several years ago to Michigan Supreme Court ruled that the Michigan Constitution prohibits taking of private property for use by another private entity.
