Unconstitutional on 10th Amendment grounds.

Attach an amendment that removes jurisdiction from inferior courts.

The case will immediately be forced to SCOTUS, which will get a do-over on Kelo.

In the original Kelo decision it was appealed directly to the Supreme Court anyway since Article III says that when the state is a party then the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction. The amendment shouldn't be needed.

No reason why a do-over should lead to a different ruling. Nothing in the Constitution gives the federal government the power to define "public use". Therefore it's the state's power on 10th Amendment grounds.
