How Will Supreme Court Ruling on Eminent Domain Effect Churches?

Just a thought:
Will today's Supreme Court ruling that allows local governements to seize private lands for "public usage" allow those same cities to seize church properties? Most churches sit on very attractive parcels of land that greeedy local governments and developers would love to get their hands on. This flagrant over-stepping of the Fifth Amendment has potential for great harm to the rights of any religious organizations and their land holdings. Let's keep an eye out for the first church to fall prey to this land grab.
