Weare, New Hampshire (PRWEB) Could a hotel be built on the land owned by Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter? A new ruling by the Supreme Court which was supported by Justice Souter himself itself might allow it. A private developer is seeking to use this very law to build a hotel on Souter's land.
Justice Souter's vote in the "Kelo vs. City of New London" decision allows city governments to take land from one private owner and give it to another if the government will generate greater tax revenue or other economic benefits when the land is developed by the new owner.
On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip Meany the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare, New Hampshire seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road. This is the present location of Mr. Souter's home.
Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, points out that the City of Weare will certainly gain greater tax revenue and economic benefits with a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road than allowing Mr. Souter to own the land.
The proposed development, called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" will feature the "Just Desserts Café" and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America. Instead of a Gideon's Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged."
Clements indicated that the hotel must be built on this particular piece of land because it is a unique site being the home of someone largely responsible for destroying property rights for all Americans.
"This is not a prank" said Clements, "The Towne of Weare has five people on the Board of Selectmen. If three of them vote to use the power of eminent domain to take this land from Mr. Souter we can begin our hotel development."
Clements' plan is to raise investment capital from wealthy pro-liberty investors and draw up architectural plans. These plans would then be used to raise investment capital for the project. Clements hopes that regular customers of the hotel might include supporters of the Institute For Justice and participants in the Free State Project among others.

:) LOL! Good thing that we are looking out for him!
whoa!
this is a great idea.
ping!
Excellent!
no, under a rock.
He and the neighbors are fortunate that the idea is for a classy hotel.
What's even better is that this can be used to require the windmills to generate electricity on Nantucket, where the haughty, French looking junior Senator from Massachusetts who also served in Vietnam has property.
Sorry, where his family has property. :)
I like it!
OK, you're my pingee #1. If anyone else wants to get on, FreepMail me!
Freestar, if there is any news regarding the project, tell me and I'll ping all interested Freepers.
Thanks, man. I was just writing my check for the processing fee to a nigerian princess so she can move her megabucks out of the country and into my account for a short while.
I'd be happy if they'd just make the beaches along there public again.
I got a 'c' note. AFter this let's E.Domain Napa Valley and drink wine to celebrate.
