the reason it is not a "non-happening" is all the 'little guys' were hoping this would be the case to overturn decades of property rights infringement by local governments. instead it has nailed the coffin shut on property rights.

this non-happening

"Non-happening?" The SCOTUS nullifies the eminent domain clause in the 5th amendment of the constitution, and this is a "non-happening?"

It seems that this court sees the Bill of Rights as rights given to government, as opposed to the founders' intention that it was to LIMIT what government was allowed to do, in infringing on the rights of the states, or the people. They seem to be reading it as the first amendment grants the right of freedom of the press, rather than the government is restricted from infringing on that natural right.
