I think that the purists are losing the war - and make NO mistake, this new ruling was a declaration of war and a blatent slap in the face to all those who make a lot of noise about the constitution and their rights, but at the end of the day, aren't willing or able to go to the court house and remove the judge from the bench at the end of a gun or rope. Here is an analogy - if you own a well and the city passed a law that you must use city water, you might continue to use your well. But if they set your farm and home on fire, and your well went dry, would you use the city water to put out the fire? Those in power don't give a damn about your rights. Maybe using their rules to inflict real pain will get their attention. Some anarchists might find it useful to keep the courts busy with land grabs of those who made such laws possible. After all, if they are defending their own land, they can't very well go after yours. At the same time, it keeps the jackboots occupied so that they aren't out causing more problems. For instance, Orin Hatch has been abusing the rights of citizens for years. He authored the USAPA. He supports the AG confiscating property in drug cases. Wouldn't be nice to use his own laws to cause him pain. In Boston's book, his vigilantes make the death of thier victims a reflection of their crimes. What ever happened to live by the sword, die by the sword? I see your point, but I believe that in war, any weapon will do. In this case, I believe the only way to reverse this is to first use it as a weopon against those who are in a position to reverse it. When they see first hand how easily it can be abused, maybe justice will be done.
