Congress doesn't run this country, SCOTUS is ruining it.
Wrong -- this never would have been in front of SCOTUS unless the elected officials of New London (and your town and my town) weren't so eager to steal our property that they would fight it all the way to the highest levels. The tyranny in this case begins with the legislative and executive branches at the state and local level -- the courts are just in collusion.
"Congress doesn't run this country, SCOTUS is ruining it."
Yep. While patriots were focused on elections and fighting a thousand social and smaller political issues, the Leftists went through law school and practice and slipped into the judiciary unnoticed.
However, in their arrogance and quest for power, they failed to learn the lessons of all preceding tyrannies.
