"Pretty Boy Floyd" & the Supreme Court




In the recent U.S. Supreme Court "Eminent Domain" case that has caused an uproar, the highest court in the land once again played super legislature by trying to 'make' rather than 'interpret' the law by changing PUBLIC USE to PUBLIC PURPOSE.

Woody Guthrie had kinder words for Charles Arthur “Pretty Boy” Floyd in his song ~

The Ballad of Pretty Boy Floyd.
As through this life you travel, you meet some funny men;
Some rob you with a six-gun, some with a fountain pen.
As through this life you ramble, as through this life you roam,
You’ll never see an outlaw take a family from their home.

The more things change, the more things stay the same…who was it that said ‘the pen is mightier than the sword'!
