COMMENTING ON VIEW THAT THE SUPREME COURT HAS EMPLOYED A DOUBLE STANDARD IN DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN HUMAN RIGHTS AND PROPERTY RIGHTS, THE AUTHOR ARGUES THAT THE SUPREME COURT CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE IN PROTECTING PROPERTY RIGHTS. IT IS ONLY IN THE AREA OF CIVIL LIBERTIES THAT ITS ROLE AS THE PROTECTOR IS A PROPER ONE AND THUS NO DOUBLE STANDARD EXISTS.
