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.
Thanks for the ping!
You're on.

Very good. I doubt these projects would have long term success so we need to consider taxes. Also, I wonder if we would qualify for federal grant money.
If we can't get Souter's house let's look at getting all the houses around him and building some motels and liquor stores.
Maybe he meant peptic.
Since he is for it, he should have no problem with giving up his property.

ROFL! I never would have imagined something as spunky as this eight years ago.
The internet is generating unprecendented grassroots activism that will take our country back. And we can have fun while doing it! :)
This story is finally hitting the MSM.
It was one of the 5-6 stories highlighted in Yahoo News which means a gazillion people saw it.

Yup, its in the Washingotn Post, LA times, Globe, MSNBC, a few other big names, plus all the local papers. Hopefully it causes people to check out freestarmedia, I am familiar with them already, they make a great case for the abolition of the FDA. I also like how hes pushing 'Atlas Shrugged' and the freestate project.
Its all just great! :)
Thanks for the link. I've actually never seen those 'blighted' houses.
They're beauties, classics.
What a shame if they end up being torn down.

I know I've been having fun. I can't imagine the other side having this much fun.
"This story is finally hitting the MSM."
Well actually, this is one of those rare moments when both sides can have fun. I really think that land rights is truly a bipartizan cause. But the beauty of it is, who's trying to keep the courts from changing?
