No, it will NOT be successful because the government didn’t TAKE any property away.

That is not what the takings clause means. They do not have to take anything. If something they do reduces the value of your property and no compensation is offered, that is a taking. Good background is Richard Epstein's book "Takings", 1985, Harvard University Press.

Well, that takes my breath away. That just takes the cake. I was taken with the wrong line of reasoning and feel that my staying at a Holiday Inn Express didn’t improve my understanding of the law any whatsoever. I feel taken advantage of by their (HIE) advertising.
