Except I think it's a bit worse than that. As far as I can tell, eminent domain is a natural right of government. That is, it exists even before there's a Constitution that limits that right. We inherited this from british common law.

Laws, including those of individual states can limit that right even more than the Constitution did but, absent these, the government can take your property.

At any rate, that's how I read it.
