As if the court being overly sentimental would be the only reason to overturn confiscations of property of this kind?

That is a laughably bias interpretation. The phrase "bleeding heart" is used as an insult, suggesting the targets lack reason and are completely guided by their feelings. Your descriptions paints those you disagree with as mustache-twirling cartoon villain caricatures and comes off about as genuine as "They hate us for our freedom".
Yes, 'suggesting the targets lack reason', which if they had it, I suppose, would make them more in agreement with the criticizer. (In this neo-con-ruled world people who use the term 'bleeding heart' see themselves as 'realists', i.e. follow the pronouncements of the local economist, think-tank, party-back-room guru etc without much considering the actual effects on people or the world. Money, or votes, is the prize. Everywhere is obsession with 'efficiency' and 'growth'. It's hardly noticed how many people hate their work, or that growth is unsustainable, or what's happening to the planet. We have no idea where we're going but are obsessed with getting there efficiently. But that's rant for another place..)
This mismatch results in some of this derisive language in the U.S.
Gonna need numbers on that mate, because everything I've read suggests conservatism is correlated with reduced amount, degree and frequency of charitable behaviour.
