Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[big-yank]

Wrong, yambike. The 5th amendment says "without adequate compensation".

It is just like eminent domain claims. The government can appropriate property but must fairly pay for any taking required for the public good.

"Due process" IS a constitutional right of every citizen to have their day in court to seek fair and reasonable consideration of claims. The concept goes back as far as provisions in The Magna Carta on whose basis the framers extensively relied. Madison was a smart dude on this stuff. Read Richard Epstein's reknowned book on the subject if you want background.
