The Judiciary hasn’t been on the side of the people in a VERY long time.
Consider, for a moment, Kelo v. New London; in this case the Supreme Court allowed as legitimate the usage of Immanent Domain to serve a “public use” the ‘projection’ of higher tax-revenue. This boils down to the USSC saying that “we *think* the government will make more money if...” as being sufficient reason to dispossess a person of their property.
Never mind that this amounts to a de facto amendment of the Constitution’s 5th Amendment to remove ‘for public use’ because it renders those words of no meaning because the mere assumption, even mistaken, of “more revenue” is held to be ‘public use.’ {and how far is it to grant this legal larceny to allow the government seizing private property and selling it off to pay for debts/”unfunded liabilities”?}
The best part of Kelo was the outcome; after seizing the property the company that wanted it didn’t use it anyway.
What a disgrace; a similar situation happened in NY along the Hudson River in the 1960s. The government forced people out of their homes in a little hamlet called Doodletown, allegedly to build some sort of ski area; the project was abandoned and the properties remain in the hands of Bear Mountain State Park to this day (the homes were all demolished).
