Wait a second ... there are laws saying it's okay to throw people off their own land and give it away? I'm astounded that the judges had the nerve to release this ruling; you'd think they'd be afraid for their lives. Kudos to them.

One bit that caught my eye:

The government has previously ignored several court rulings against it, with President Mugabe saying that he would abide only by rulings he considered just.

I'm not sure we have a word (or phrase) for that in American English, but I'm positive that "rule of law" doesn't cover that.
