It's wild to claim with certainty "clearly see that's not the case" then just claim you're just uncertain here.

My initial claim in any case was that the constitution requires the compensation, not that there is 0% chance the government would violate the constitution.





I’m saying: I am certain the constitution does not guarantee payment in this situation. I am not certain a court couldn’t find a way to connect the takings clause and expand current case law to apply to a case like you’re describing in the future.

None of the above has anything to do with the government violating the constitution.
