If the people don't throw these plunderers out in the next election, they deserve this.

See post 24.

The people who put the plunderers in, are the ones responsible. This is one of the reasons the secret ballot is dangerous. If citizens are afraid to stand up and publicly declare their decisions, it provides cover for the sleaze bags. Think of it this way, they have roll call votes in legislative bodies, for accountability. If the power of the legislatures is derived from the people, then people should be held to the highest standard, to set the example for those elected.

When the legislatures act in behalf of a vaguely defined "people", crap like Kelo happens.
