One Member Of Congress On "Kelo vs. New London"

"The Kelo (v. New London) case also demonstrates that local
government can be as tyrannical as centralized government.
Decentralized power is always preferable, of course, since it's
easier to fight city hall than Congress. But government power
is ever and always dangerous, and must be zealously guarded
against. Most people in New London, Connecticut, like most
people in America, would rather not involve themselves in politics.
The reality is that politics involves itself with us whether we like
it or not. We can bury our heads in the sand and hope that things
don't get too bad, or we can fight back when government treats
us as its servant rather than its master."

U.S. House Rep. Ron Paul (R*)

He is a libertarian registered as a Republican*
