Unfortunately, Huebert is correct that the pressure from voting citizens probably is the difference in the Ohio court stopping this great movement to slavery. I hope this is not viewed as a victory for democracy. It is democracy that screwed this up in the first place.

The local mayor and council was elected to represent the interests of the people and obviously they did not do that.

The state has the “Blighted” tag as a way out over the “Public Use” provision in eminent domain.

The feds pick the justices in the court for life and they can just about do anything they please. Of course Congress and the President escape this tyranny, the President must bring a case against a congressman through the court system. Only Congress can impeach the president.

So I hate this small victory for democracy at the expenses of millions of huge victories of democracy over the rights of the individual.
