This is time for action. Two things need to be done from what I can see. First call your representative and demand to talk to the legislative aid and make sure you have your copy of the Constitution in your hand for quick reference. Ask what they are going to do to over turn this.
Yes Congress does have that power especially when the ruling is obviously contrary to the constititution. The land must be taken for public use with just compensation not private corporate use (the public benefit does not even come into play). It is enumerated in the Constitution for the establishment of Post Offices, Post Roads, Forts, etc.
If you don't get a plan of action I suggest that you vote with your feet and your cash! Pick a Conservative Constitutional Party and go to your elections board and register as a member of that party. Donate your political cash to that party. Cut the Republicrats off at the source! If you can't make a Revolutionary move like this then we are indeed doomed because you would rather be a slave than do what our founding fathers did. I am a member of the America First Party, check them out but if that is not your cup of tea then perhaps the Constitution Party or the Independant American Party.
The Dance of distraction in the Senate has been going on for how long????? If this was not about distraction then the job would have been done already with respect to votes on all nominees. Filibuster with respect to nominees is unconstituional. The Borders are not sealed, the trade deficit is out of this world, the budget deficit is out of this world and now they take away a government for, by and of the people by seizing our property. Whether you have your property in your hands now is irrelevant they are coming for you. How long are you going to wait? Until there is no one to help you? Are you tired of the lesser of two evils yet?
We also need to call for the impeachment of the 5 who so blatantly disregarded their oaths of office in rendering this decision. If there is no consequence for this it will only embolden them.

It has been said (but I have not confirmed) that the ancient Romans maintained their justice system by forcing judges to sit on benches upholstered with the skin of the last unjust judge to hold the office. Sooo, I was thinking...
"News Flash: "President to Consult With Dems on Supreme Court Nominees."
I just walked by the TV and Fox is headlining the above. I give up."
Apparently the Pubbies believe it too. I don't think they have enough time before the mid-term elections to learn how to act like the majority party. Seems like the Rats mau-mau them at will and all our side does is genuflect.
