The tenth Amendment does not give states the right to violate the 5th Amendment right to Private property. Like I said, the US Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land. period. Let’s say the state of CT passes a law saying that you must be 21 to vote. That is in clear violation of the 26th Amendment of the right to vote at 18. Are you saying that the 10th mendment would allow that?

Show me where the 5th Amendment, or any other part of the Constitution, defines public use and where the state of Connecticut deviated from that definition and then I'll agree with you.
