i don't quite argee with the robin hood analogy, the scotus is more robbing from the middle class and giving to the really rich. which, from most of the stories, was WHY robin hood was robbing from the rich to give to the poor. he was giving it back after the government had stolen it in the first place.

Thanks for pointing that out. Making Robin Hood out to be a socialist "hero" is a common fallacy.
