You're trying to have both ends of this argument, and that just does not work.
It does work. FDR accomplished much damage against the Constitution. This damage is fait accomplis now, 67 years later. There was no Constitutional provision for the water project's construction. There is no Constitutional provision for it's destruction. There is no Constitutional provision for the government's manipulation of the water now.

The people who got their land stolen by eminent domain have a right to have that land returned to them.
