> clearly predatory real estate schemers

How are they predatory? They purchased a parcel of land on a government-approved website through a vetted legal process and followed all the rules.

Patent trolls generally follow all laws. There are all kinds of legal ways to make money that I find extremely distasteful.
With respect, this is not an argument, but a non-sequitur. I agree with you that legality and morality do not always align. However, if a legally binding transaction can be overturned simply because powerful people complain, then there is no such thing as a legally binding transaction.
