"Wouldn't those prime pieces of property in Malibu, overlooking the beach, make excellent places for hotels? Those movie stars would be forced to move to make way for vacationers".

Let me see if can remember back to my political science class. One of the checks and balances of our bicameral government is that if one branch does some thing bad one of the other two can do something about it. For instance the pres can veto a bill if he so chooses and the leg can over ride the pres veto. There is checks and balances on what the SCOtUS did. The checks and balance on the judiciary from the legislature is to pass an amendment to constitution. Once Congresses passes an amendment and the states ratify, game over, SCOtUS over turned.
