These are not good days for America or Americans... you are probably aware that I've been linking stuff about the rogue Supremes since the "international law and concensus of opinion" fiasco here:

Men(ace) in Black? SCOTUS goes Rogue...

Of course, CFR was the warning shot... no, make that "Death Knell" on the Constitution.

In their opinion, if you'll notice, The Supreme Court rewrote the Constitution from "public use" to "public pur-pose":

In part, from the posted slip opinion: "Rather, it has embraced the broader and more natural interpretation of public use as "public pur-pose."

Fifth Amendment tol the 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. [emphasis added]
