While the Supreme Court ruling can't be changed until we get different justices on there, in the meanwhile we do have an outlet via state legislatures. Municipalities and counties, the governmental entities most prone to using eminent domain in this fashion, exist at the pleasure of the States, which along with the Federal government, are the only constitutionally mandated soverign entities. If the States pass laws defining what counties and municipalites can and cannot use eminent domain for, that should solve the problem in the short term.
