Eminent domain existed long before our country was established and the Founders recognized that and did nothing to stop it. All they did was institute safeguards to prevent takings without due process.

The Kelo decision expanded that right far beyond what the Founders or any of us could have envisioned.

It's a horrible decision, but there is a way to defend against it. Texas has. Your results may vary.

Eminent domain is for public use and it is established by the fourth amendment. The tenth amendment establishes limits(at least it used to).
