I like this part in Alito's opinion:

>>The position taken in this case by the Federal Government—a position that the Court now squarely rejects—would have put the property rights of ordinary Americans entirely at the mercy of Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) employees.

It is sad but true that state bureaucracies tend to attract exactly the sorts of people who will believe and act out their belief that their powers are absolute. They say you can't fight City Hall, but every so often we need somebody like the Sacketts to do exactly that because the alternative (putting the privateers in charge) is even worse. If people want to help they should send the Sacketts some $ since this sort of fight tends to consume all, even if the battle eventually is won.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
