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.
"I've actually never seen those 'blighted' houses. They're beauties, classics."
Are you saying the gov'ment actually lied about a house being 'blighted'? I don't believe you.

'blighted' houses
Tainted love. Soundtrack.
Waiting to hear Souter's comments re this proposal. . .surely, someone will ask him where he stands on this.
I agree with you, make them play by their own rules!
What is good for us, is good for them. If we eat vanilla creme cookies, they should too! No Neiman Marcus cookies for thoses babies!!
Can I book in advance for two weeks in the fall? Will there be no-smoking rooms? Will there be a senior discount?
....In fact, it is an ideal demonstration since it literally would take only three good citizens to wake up Justice Souter and the other four on the court as to what a precarious position that they have put the rest of their fellow citizens in....
Yep. Ordinarily they'd (the townsfolk of Weare) be decent folks and wouldn't throw anyone out of their home despite the "law".
I've asked them to make an exception in this case.
In this case, I would have to say turnabout is fair play.
Thank you for your work on this, I'll see what I can contribute.
