mugabe and the supreme court

zimbabwe has its own eminent domain stuff going on, too, with mugabe's recent charades:

Police have torched or bulldozed tens of thousands of shacks and street stalls since launching the blitz on May 19. Other buildings have been torn down by their owners at gunpoint.

hm. kind of like what'll happen if susette kelo refuses to vacate her home? it may have been decided by a judge, but it is still going to be enforced by guns and bulldozers.

also, check out some fun stuff that's been going on since kelo (via q and o blog). as justice o'connor said, "the government now has license to transfer property from those with fewer resources to those with more. The Founders cannot have intended this perverse result."
