>> She said it implied that the Government can take property for public use in so far as there is just compensation. Is this a correct interpretation of the 5th Amendment?

Sure. But up to now, this has always only applied to things like roads, ports, schools, courthouses.

Now, we have the prospect of eminent domain being used to hand over property for private use to private groups and individuals. This is a new and dangerous interpretation, that should be overturned.
