Lobbyist Richard Lipsky, the tag-team partner of the Daily News's Errol Louis (we're pretty sure they would be classified as "heels" rather than "faces"), piles on today's News editorial.
This kind of rear guard legal strategy is exactly why the courts are being held in such low esteem-a failure to deal with the abuse of legal process. All of Brooklyn (or at least the majority of Brooklynites) is waiting for the Nets to come an energize the borough and hopefully, just like the Giants today, parade down the Canyon of Heroes with a NBA championship.
NoLandGrab: Actually, the courts are held in low esteem becuase of their failure to deal with the abuse of eminent domain. The vast majority of Americans disagree with the Supreme Court's Kelo decision, believing the use of eminent domain should be reined in, and 42 states (you guessed it — New York isn't one of them) have taken steps to do just that.
