By the way, since you are a conservative I have a question about this: does it bother you when projects like this affect private property rights? Kelo v. City of New London was one of those earth-shattering moments when not only did I renew my love for Sandra Day O'Connor but I realized, my God, I am more of a libertarian than I would have realized. Long story short, I have spent a lot of time since then investigating this ideological development and am toying with writing a book about libertarian feminism (now is not the moment). I work closely with and have hung out with some Libertarians and found My People in a place called the Niskanen Center, which is a place I never, ever would have expected to find my people. Yet there they are.
So I'm curious - I take private property rights to be, along with habeas corpus and the collection of free expression rights - one of the three pillars of democracy and also any just system of collective government whatsoever. I am puzzled by the way that Republicans, in the zeal to protect their private property right as investors, are so eager to trample upon the private property rights of land owners, because I figured that's the only one of the basic rights they care much about.Statistics: Posted by Phoebe — Wed Feb 08, 2017 9:05 am
