Who cares? You seem to forget that the SC only interprets law. They don't legislate from the bench. If the LAW ON THE BOOKS says that a city government tan take property and give it to some developer and build a mall on top of it, then that's what will be handed down by the court. Their job is not to create law, but to interpret it. It's our job as citizens to get our elected officals to change the law so that the SC will interpret it differently. What Scalia, Thomas, Renquist, and O'Connor were trying to do was that they were trying to change law from the bench. Which isn't kosher.
