Because that is textbook frivolousness, barely reasonable and purely designed for harassment.
Excuse me, but it was indeed frivolous, but eminently reasonable. Would not Justice Souter's home provide a greater public benefit as a hotel than as his private home? The same arguments apply here as to condemning private property in New London for the building of a shopping center. It was designed to make a point, and I think it made it quite well.

And when was the last time a public road was turned over to a private for-profit organization to raise revenue? Can you cite me a real example?
