Can you amend the Constitution to say what it already says?

Anyway, there was recently an amendment offered to the bigass appropriations bill going through Congress right now that would prohibit federal funds from being used in eminent domain cases like the one in Kelo. Here's how everyone in the House voted on the amendment. Noticeably absent from the "ayes" is Democratic heavy hitter Nancy Pelosi.

There's also the Protection of Homes, Small Businesses, and Private Property Act of 2005.
