Maxine Waters is a loon. But even a loon can be right from time to time as Rich Lowry writes in this article from The National Review. Representative Waters understands that the recent Kelo decision from The Supreme Court is mostly a danger to those who own homes, but are neither rich nor powerful and who are not well-connected. It stands to reason that these are the people who are most likely to have their homes stolen from them by their local governments and given to whatever powerful special interest has the most political pull with the local zoning board. Thus even Maxine Waters understands the importance of protecting the private property rights of the individual homeowner against the power of big government and big corporate interests. Who would have thought it?
