Or: Be careful what you wish for... [yesterday's news, I know, but the irony is just too, too delicious to let go just yet]
It seems that Justice may sometimes be somewhat more swift than others... and more personal?
In an already somewhat infamous decision, the USSC has decided that private property doesn't have to be either. Once more citing 'international opinion', the usual suspects have decided that it is perfectly acceptable to take private property from one person and give it to another, even if for private use. The requisite 'good' necessary to render such a move legal was traditionally ambiguous...
... but it might backfire. Supreme boot
GOP Bloggers considers it an eye for an eye, and Powerpundit wonders if this may just come back to bite him. [him being USSC Justice David Souter]
One delights in hoping that 'justice' will be served to all 5 supporters of this gem of jurispridential lack of foresight. Surely 5 luxury hotels in certain, quiet, upscale areas could generate a goodly amount of local tax revenue, not to mention a hasty revisit to a bad decision?
I wonder if Justice Souter is familiar with the Klingon proverb which tells us that 'Revenge is a dish, best served cold'?
