From the Christian Science Monitor

In a major decision that narrows the constitutional protection of property owners, the US Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause authorizes government seizure of private property even when it merely offers a benefit to the public, rather than actual public use.

There is no way that this decision can't be spun other than as LeftWing authoritarianism, quite typical for this lawless Supreme Court.
