Congress, States Slow to Confront Property Rights Decision
The Heritage Foundation's Ronald D. Utt writes, "Despite the widespread concern that swept the country following the Kelo decision, state and federal elected officials have done little to strengthen the protection of property rights.

3. Ann Coulter: Ronnie Earle Is Better Suited for a Job in Hollywood

Democrat prosecutor Ronnie Earle's conspiracy charge against Tom DeLay was thrown out this week, which came as a surprise to people who think it's normal for a prosecutor to have to empanel six grand juries in order to get an indictment on simple fund-raising violations.
