A similar tactic could have implications for redistricting problems, such as those in California, as well.

But if the following is the proposed direction, I’m not sure it’s going to fly:
From Wikipedia:
Syndicalism is a political and economic ideology which advocates giving control of both industry and government to labor union federations. Syndicalisme is a French word meaning "trade unionism". This milder version of syndicalism was overshadowed by revolutionary anarcho-syndicalism in the early 20th century, which was most powerful in Spain, but appeared in other parts of the world as well.
A model syndicalist community is as follows. The local unit, the syndicat, would communicate with other syndicats through the bourse de travail (labour exchange). The bourse would handle management and the transfer of commodities.
Syndicalism forms one of the three most common theories of a pre-managed economic and labor structure. It believes, on an ethical basis, that all participants in each organized trade internally share equal ownership of its output and therefore deserve equal earnings and benefits within that particular trade, regardless of position or duty. This contrasts socialism's emphasis on the distribution of output from all different trades to one another as required by each trade, not necessarily considering how those trades organize themselves internally. Both these systems of pre-organized economic structure can theoretically include variations on privatism, unlike the third such pre-arranged egalitarian strand, namely communism. Communism supports the abolition of government-sanctioned private ownership and private earnings in favor of making all property legally public, and therefore solely the responsibility of the state and/or the community.
Instances of syndicalism in power, during the Spanish Revolution or the 1956 Hungarian Revolution rapidly approach the economic organisation of communism, often within weeks of syndicalists seizing control of social production.
Syndicalists often form alliances with other workers' movements, including socialism, communism, and anarchism.
"All your property are belong to us"
anyone know who ruled what way in this case?
For clarification a real estate syndicate has nothing to do with syndicalism. It's merely a joint business venture in which landowners become part owners.

State legislatures will take this head on.
Conservatives, (plus O'connor, minus Kennedy) ruled in the minority.
Does it have any connection with the theories of economist Henry George who advocated the theory of the Single Tax which is really rent levied against jointly owned land?
Thank you for the info!
No connection with land valuation theory of Henry George. A syndicate is more like stock ownership.
I thing a better A.K.A would be RingWorms.
The Supremes just said reporters could be jailed for not revealing sources, and the news reporters, shocked, said of course, Congress will pass a law protecting reporters' right to stay mum. Well, Congress can jolly well pass a law protecting private homeowners' rights, too!
Machiavelli was one smart dude.
