That is NOT treason... People just love to toss that term around. Here is 
what the Constitution calls "treason".


Article III
Section 3
Clause 1:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War 
against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. 
No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two 
Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

It's not wrong if the SC says it's ok.... Maybe 'wrong' is not the best 
word, 'legal' would be better.
Taking someone's home so some business can use the land is sure not right, 
it's legal but not right!
