Attorney General Hedley Lamarr, a character from Mel Brooks’ Blazing Saddles, discovers a way to  re-route railroad tracks through the town of Rock Ridge:

Hedley Lamarr: Wait a minute… there might be legal precedent. Of course! Land-snatching!
[grabs a law book]
Hedley Lamarr: Land, land… “Land: see Snatch.”
[flips back several pages]
Hedley Lamarr: Ah, Haley vs. United States. Haley: 7, United States: nothing. You see, it can be done!
