They are not useless. the majority of americans have no clue about even the term 'emminant domain" let alone its implications. Demonstrations would be educational and at this point very very helpful.

Having said that, why would anyone care? I mean Americans have to be consumed with the latest celebrity romances, they certainly don't have time for anything like this.ha.

"the majority of americans have no clue about even the term 'emminant domain" let alone its implications."

Average Joe Americans saw "Supreme Court rules government can seize homes" on CNN. That was about all they needed to see, and it's essentially correct. Do they understand the exact legal terms and nuances? No. Do they need to understand all of them to protest effectively? No. Poll 100 right-to-lifers about the exact legal standards applied to abortions and I doubt half understand half. Why? Because laws are written by lawyers who intentionally obfuscate the language to make the whole thing more difficult to understand for the average person.
