The constitution says the government cant confiscate anything without due process, so not sure why thats relevant.

Eminent domain is considered due process
Eminent domain requires paying market rate
Which… was my first point.
You said you don’t get market rate.
I was saying that you get paid approximately market rate, which makes it obviously not merely "confiscation", ergo using scare quotes "confiscation" to describe eminent domain is pretty reasonable.
