Like the little guy is protected from the government now?

I think Breyer, Ginsberg, Souter, and Stevens - the 4 "left leaning members - were 4 of the 5 votes (along with Kennedy) who voted to allow the government to take private property from one person and give it to another under eminent domain.

Don't tell me the court is protecting the little. It isn't the responsibility of the court to do so anyway. It is their responsibility to rule on Constitutionality of cases presented.

I do not have the direct quote, but Roberts made the perfect answer when asked by...Schumer, I think it was....about protecting the "little guy". He said if the Constitution says the little guy is right, then the little guy will win. If the Constitution says the big guy should win, then the big guy will win.
